Answer

No discontinuities.

Work Step by Step

Discontinuities exist in $f(x)$ when the denominator of $f(x)$ equals $0$. Therefore, for a discontinuity to exist, $1+sin^2(x) = 0$. $$1+sin^2(x) = 0$$ $$sin^2(x) = -1$$ $$sin(x) = i$$ There exist no $x$ where $sin(x) = i$. Therefore, there are no discontinuities.
