∴ 𝑓(𝑥) = [tan 𝑥] = 0 for all 𝑥 ∈ (−𝜋/4, 𝜋/4) and,

It is evident from the definition of tan[𝑓(𝑥)] that Clearly, 𝑓′(𝑥) is continuous at 𝑥 = 0
lim− tan[𝑓(𝑥)] = − tan 1 and, lim+ tan[𝑓(𝑥)] = 0 Consequently, it is continuous for all 𝑥 > −1 i.e.

So, tan[𝑓(𝑥)] is not continuous at 𝑥 = 2 for 𝑥 + 1 > 0

it is not continuous at 𝑥 = 0, ±𝜋/2, ±𝜋, ≠ 3𝜋/2
