The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to ensure that the function \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \). This means that the left-hand limit, right-hand limit, and the value of the function at that point must all be equal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the function**: The function is defined as: \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1 - \sin x}{\pi - 2x} & \text{if } x \neq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ \lambda & \text{if } x = \frac{\pi}{2} \end{cases} \] 2. **Find the right-hand limit as \( x \) approaches \( \frac{\pi}{2} \)**: We need to calculate: \[ \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{2}^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{2}^+} \frac{1 - \sin x}{\pi - 2x} \] Substituting \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \) gives us: \[ \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 1 \Rightarrow 1 - \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \] And for the denominator: \[ \pi - 2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \] Thus, we have an indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \). 3. **Apply L'Hôpital's Rule**: Since we have an indeterminate form, we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule: \[ \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{2}^+} \frac{1 - \sin x}{\pi - 2x} = \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{2}^+} \frac{-\cos x}{-2} \] Now substituting \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \): \[ -\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \Rightarrow \text{So, the limit becomes } \frac{0}{-2} = 0 \] 4. **Find the left-hand limit**: Since the function is symmetric around \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \), the left-hand limit will also be: \[ \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{2}^-} f(x) = 0 \] 5. **Set the limits equal to \( \lambda \)**: For the function to be continuous at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \): \[ \lambda = \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{2}^+} f(x) = 0 \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the value of \( \lambda \) is: \[ \lambda = 0 \]
