Step-by-step solution
For the function , we can simplify the argument of the sine function. Since is an integer, . Thus, .
The function can be rewritten as .
The term is continuous everywhere. The term has jump discontinuities where is an integer. For , . The integer values of in this interval are , which gives points of the form .
At these points, is discontinuous. For to be continuous at , the continuous factor must be zero:
is an integer.
The integers in are . Their cubes are , which are values among the points. At these points, is continuous. At the remaining points, is discontinuous.
Thus, .
For the function , we can write , which is the fractional part of .
The function is continuous everywhere except possibly at the integers, where is discontinuous.
The integers in are .
Let's check the continuity at :
Right-hand limit (): , so .
Left-hand limit (): , so .
For to be continuous at , we must have . Since , is not an integer multiple of , meaning . Therefore, we must have .
So, is continuous at and discontinuous at .
Thus, and .
Since contains no integers and contains only integers, , which means .
Finally, we calculate the required value:
.
