Answer

$f$ is discontinuous at $x=2n\pi\pm\displaystyle\frac{3\pi}{2}$, where $n$ is integer.

Work Step by Step

\[y=f(x)=\frac{1}{1+\sin x}\] Clearly $f$ is discontinuous at all values of $x$ for which denominator of $f$ is 0. \[1+\sin x=0\Rightarrow \sin x=-1\Rightarrow \sin x=-\sin\frac{\pi}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \sin x=\sin\frac{3\pi}{2}\] $\Rightarrow f$ is discontinuous at $x=2n\pi\pm\displaystyle\frac{3\pi}{2}$, where $n$ is integer. Answer is : $f$ is discontinuous at $x=2n\pi\pm\displaystyle\frac{3\pi}{2}$, where $n$ is integer.
