Note:  lim_(x→(π/2)^+ )  tan(x)=−∞  lim_(x→(π/2)^− )  tan(x)=+∞    The reasoning for my chioce of tan(π/2)  is that for the intgral, x∈[0, π/2].  Thus as x→π/2, where x∈[0, π/2],  f(x)→+∞.

$$\mathrm{Note}: \\ $$$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\left(\pi/\mathrm{2}\right)^{+} } {\mathrm{lim}}\:\mathrm{tan}\left({x}\right)=−\infty \\ $$$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\left(\pi/\mathrm{2}\right)^{−} } {\mathrm{lim}}\:\mathrm{tan}\left({x}\right)=+\infty \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{reasoning}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{my}\:\mathrm{chioce}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{tan}\left(\pi/\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{intgral},\:{x}\in\left[\mathrm{0},\:\pi/\mathrm{2}\right]. \\ $$$$\mathrm{Thus}\:\mathrm{as}\:{x}\rightarrow\pi/\mathrm{2},\:\mathrm{where}\:{x}\in\left[\mathrm{0},\:\pi/\mathrm{2}\right], \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)\rightarrow+\infty. \\ $$
