Answer

$$\lim\limits _{x \rightarrow \pi} \sin (x-\sin(x))=0 $$ The function is continuous at $ x=\pi $.

Work Step by Step

Given $$\lim\limits _{x \rightarrow \pi} \sin (x-\sin(x)) $$ Firstly, \begin{aligned}a)\lim\limits _{x \rightarrow \pi} \sin (x-\sin(x))&= \sin (\pi-\sin(\pi))\\ &= \sin (\pi-0)\\ &=0\\ \end{aligned} Since $$ f(x)=\sin (x-\sin(x))$$ $$ b) f(\pi)=\sin (\pi-0)=0$$ From (a), (b) since $\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow \pi} f(x)=f(\pi)=0,$ the function is continuous at $ x=\pi $.
