Answer

$ a.\quad-\infty$. $ b.\quad\infty$. $ c.\quad-\infty$. $ d.\quad\infty$.

Work Step by Step

See screenshot below. $ a.\quad$ Nearing $x=\pi/2$ from the right, the graph falls without bound. $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\pi/2^{+}}f(x)=-\infty$. $ b.\quad$ Nearing $x=\pi/2$ from the left, the graph rises without bound. $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\pi/2^{-}}f(x)=\infty$. $ c.\quad$ Nearing $x=-\pi/2$ from the right, the graph falls without bound. $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow-\pi/2^{+}}f(x)=-\infty$. $ d.\quad$ Nearing $x=-\pi/2$ from the left, the graph rises without bound. $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow-\pi/2^{-}}f(x)=\infty$.
