Answer

$ y $ is continuous on $$... \cup(-1,3)\cup(3,5) \cup( 5,7) \cup...$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ y=\tan\frac{\pi x}{2} =\frac{\sin \frac{\pi x}{2}}{\cos \frac{\pi x}{2}}$$ Since the of the denominator is zero at $\cos \frac{\pi x}{2}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{\pi x}{2}= \frac{\pi }{2}+k\pi \Rightarrow x=2k+1, \ \ k \in Z $ So, $ y $ is continuous on $$... \cup(-1,3)\cup(3,5) \cup( 5,7) \cup...$$
