Q.  Define ••  LHD(left hand  derivative) = f(a−0)  lim_(h→0)  ((f(a−h)−f(a))/(−h))

The question is not clear. Can you   please clarify:  LHD=lim_(h→0)  ((f(a−h)−f(a))/(−h))

Left Hand Derivative of f(x) at x=a  is defined as  lim_(h→0) ((f(a−h)−f(a))/(−h))  The definition that you gave in the  question is correct.
