(C) For the function to be continuous at $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$,we must have $\lim_{x 	o \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x) = f(\frac{\pi}{2})$.First,calculate the limit: $\lim_{x 	o \frac{\pi}{2}} (\frac{4}{5})^{\frac{	an 4x}{	an 5x}}$.Let $x = \frac{\pi}{2} + h$,where $h 	o 0$.Then $	an 4x = 	an(4(\frac{\pi}{2} + h)) = 	an(2\pi + 4h) = 	an 4h \approx 4h$.And $	an 5x = 	an(5(\frac{\pi}{2} + h)) = 	an(\frac{5\pi}{2} + 5h) = \cot 5h = \frac{1}{	an 5h} \approx \frac{1}{5h}$.Thus,$\frac{	an 4x}{	an 5x} = \frac{	an 4h}{\cot 5h} = 	an 4h \cdot 	an 5h 	o 0 \cdot \infty$ (indeterminate form).Actually,$\frac{	an 4x}{	an 5x} = \frac{	an(2\pi + 4h)}{	an(\frac{5\pi}{2} + 5h)} = \frac{	an 4h}{\cot 5h} = 	an 4h \cdot 	an 5h$. As $h 	o 0$,this limit is $0 \cdot 0 = 0$.So,$\lim_{x 	o \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x) = (\frac{4}{5})^0 = 1$.Equating to $f(\frac{\pi}{2}) = k + \frac{2}{5}$,we get $k + \frac{2}{5} = 1$.Therefore,$k = 1 - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$.

The value of $k$ for which the function $f(x) = \begin{cases} (\frac{4}{5})^{\frac{\tan 4x}{\tan 5x}}, & 0 < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \\ k + \frac{2}{5}, & x = \frac{\pi}{2} \end{cases}$ is continuous at $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$ is
