Answer

The function is continuous.

Work Step by Step

We know that $\tan x $ is continuous on the interval $(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2})$ and $\sin x $ is continuous everywhere. Moreover, the range of $\sin x $ is $[-1,1]\subset (-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2})$. Then, by Theorem 5 of the composition functions, the function $$ f(x)=\tan (\sin x) $$ is continuous.
