is continuous at x=π/2x = \pi/2, where m∈Zm \in \mathbb{Z} (set of integers), then sin⁡2n=\sin 2n =

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

For f(x)f(x) to be continuous at x=π/2x = \pi/2, the left-hand limit must equal the right-hand limit.

From the left (x≤π/2)(x \leq \pi/2):

lim⁡x→π/2−f(x)=sin⁡(π2)+n\lim_{x \to \pi/2^-} f(x) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + n

=1+n= 1 + n

From the right (x≥π/2)(x \geq \pi/2):

lim⁡x→π/2+f(x)=m⋅π2+1\lim_{x \to \pi/2^+} f(x) = m \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} + 1

=mπ2+1= \frac{m\pi}{2} + 1


Setting the two limits equal for continuity:

1+n=mπ2+11 + n = \frac{m\pi}{2} + 1

n=mπ2n = \frac{m\pi}{2}


Substituting into sin⁡2n\sin 2n:

sin⁡(2n)=sin⁡(2⋅mπ2)\sin(2n) = \sin\left(2 \cdot \frac{m\pi}{2}\right)

=sin⁡(mπ)= \sin(m\pi)

Since m∈Zm \in \mathbb{Z}, we have sin⁡(mπ)=0\sin(m\pi) = 0 for any integer mm.

Therefore, sin⁡2n=0\sin 2n = 0
