First, identify the function given: f(x) = \(\frac{\sin x}{2 + \cos x}\). This is a rational function where the numerator is \(\sin\) x and the denominator is 2 + \(\cos\) x.
A rational function is continuous everywhere except where the denominator is zero. Therefore, we need to find where 2 + \(\cos\) x = 0.
Solve the equation 2 + \(\cos\) x = 0 to find the points where the function is not continuous. This simplifies to \(\cos\) x = -2.
Recall that the range of the cosine function is [-1, 1]. Since -2 is outside this range, there are no real values of x that satisfy \(\cos\) x = -2.
Since there are no values of x that make the denominator zero, the function f(x) = \(\frac{\sin x}{2 + \cos x}\) is continuous for all real numbers. Therefore, the interval of continuity is (-∞, ∞).
