Only points of discontinuity may be \frac{\pi}{2} or -\frac{\pi}{2} because sine and cosine functions are always continuous.
For continuity at \mathrm{x=-\frac{\pi}{2},-A+B=2( R.H.L. = L.H.L. ) }
For continuity at \mathrm{x=\frac{\pi}{2}, A+B=0 \quad( L.H.L. = R.H.L. ) }
\mathrm{\therefore \quad A=-1, B=1 }
So, for A=-1, B=1, f(x) is always continuous.
