Question

Solution

`lim_(x -> pi^-) "f"(x) =  lim_(x -> pi) (4 + sin x)`

= 4 + sin π

= 4 + 0

= 4

`lim_(x -> pi^+) "f"(x) =  lim_(x -> pi) (3 - cos x)`

=3 – cos π

=3 – (– 1)

= 4

∴ `lim_(x -> pi^-) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> pi^+) "f"(x)` = 4

∴ `lim_(x -> pi) "f"(x)` exists and equals 4

But f(π) is not defined

If we define f(π) = 4, f will be continuous at x = π

∴ the discontinuity is removable.
