Since you've not specified where is placed k, we'll assume
that f(x) = k`sqrt(x)`
For a function to be continuous at a
point x=a, it must obey the following rules:
1) f(a) must
exist
2) lim f(x) is
finite
x-> a
3) lim
f(x) = f(a)
x-> a
Now,
we'll determine the value of k, knowing that the function is
continuous.
lim cos `pi` /x = lim k`sqrt(x)` =
f(4)
x->4
x->4
lim cos `pi` /x = cos `pi` /4 =
sqrt2/2
x->4
lim
k`sqrt(x)` = ksqrt4 =
2k
x->4
f(4) = cos ` `
/4 = sqrt2/2
We'll re-write the 3rd condition of
continuity:
sqrt2/2 = 2k => k =
sqrt2/4
The value of k for the given function
to be continuous is k = sqrt2/4.
