The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to ensure that the function \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \). The function is defined piecewise as follows: \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} mx + 1 & \text{if } x \leq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ \sin x + n & \text{if } x > \frac{\pi}{2} \end{cases} \] ### Step 1: Find the left-hand limit as \( x \) approaches \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) The left-hand limit is given by the expression for \( f(x) \) when \( x \) is less than or equal to \( \frac{\pi}{2} \): \[ \lim_{x \to \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \to \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{-}} (mx + 1) = m\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + 1 \] ### Step 2: Find the right-hand limit as \( x \) approaches \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) The right-hand limit is given by the expression for \( f(x) \) when \( x \) is greater than \( \frac{\pi}{2} \): \[ \lim_{x \to \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{+}} f(x) = \lim_{x \to \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{+}} (\sin x + n) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + n = 1 + n \] ### Step 3: Set the left-hand limit equal to the right-hand limit for continuity For the function to be continuous at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \), the left-hand limit must equal the right-hand limit: \[ m\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + 1 = 1 + n \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Subtracting 1 from both sides gives: \[ m\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = n \] ### Conclusion Thus, we find that: \[ n = m\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \] This is the condition for continuity at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \). ### Final Answer The values of \( m \) and \( n \) must satisfy the equation: \[ n = m\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \] ---
