Solution
`"f"(x) {:(= sin x";", x ≤ pi/4), (= cos x";", x > pi/4):}`
`lim_(x -> pi^-/4) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> pi^-/4) (sin x)`
= `sin pi/4`
= `1/sqrt(2)`
`lim_(x -> pi^+/4) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> pi^+/4) (cos x)`
= `cos pi/4`
= `1/sqrt(2)`
Also `"f"(pi/4) = sin pi/4`
= `1/sqrt(2)`
∴ `lim_(x -> pi^-/4) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> pi^+/4) "f"(x) = "f"(pi/4)`
∴ f(x) is continuous at x = `pi/4`
