Let f be a function on the interval (π/6, π/3) given by f(x) = { (√2 cos x − 1)/(cot x − 1), for x ≠ π/4; k, for x = π/4 } If f is continuous, what is the value of k?

  1. 2
  2. 1/2
  3. 1
  4. 1/√2

Correct answer: 2

Solution

To ensure continuity at x = π/4, the limit of f(x) as x approaches π/4 must equal f(π/4), which is k. Evaluating the limit of the function as x approaches π/4 yields 2, thus k must be 2 for f to be continuous.
