Solution

f is given to be continuous at x = `pi/2`

∴ by defination,

`"f"(pi/2) =  lim_(x -> pi/2) "f"(x)`

= `lim_(x -> pi/2) (sqrt(2 + sinx) - sqrt(3))/(cos^2x)`

= `lim_(x -> pi/2) (sqrt(2 + sinx) - sqrt(3))/(cos^2x) xx (sqrt(2 + sinx) + sqrt(3))/(sqrt(2 + sinx) + sqrt(3))`

= `lim_(x -> pi/2) ((2 + sin x) - 3)/((1 - sin^2x)(sqrt(2 + sin x) + sqrt(3))`

= `lim_(x -> pi/2) (-(1 - sin x))/((1 - sin x)(1 + sin x)(sqrt(2 + sin x) + sqrt(3))`

= `lim_(x -> pi/2) (-1)/((1 + sin x)[sqrt(2 + sinx) + sqrt(3)])  ...[because  x -> pi/2,  x ≠ pi/2 therefore sin x ≠ sin  pi/2 = 1  therefore 1 - sin x ≠ 0]`

= `(lim_(x -> pi/2) ( - 1))/([lim_(x -> pi/2) (1 + sin x)] xx [lim_(x -> pi/2) (sqrt(2 + sin x) + sqrt(3)]`

= `(-1)/((1 + sin  pi/2) (sqrt(2 + sin  pi/2) + sqrt(3))`

= `(-1)/((1 + 1)(sqrt(2 + 1) + sqrt(3))`

∴ `"f"(pi/2) = (-1)/(4sqrt(3))`
