Let $$f : (-1, 1) \rightarrow R$$ be a continuous function. If $$\int_0^{\sin x} f(t) dt = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}x$$, then $$f\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$$ is equal to:
We are given that $$ f : (-1, 1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $$ is a continuous function and satisfies the equation:
$$ \int_0^{\sin x} f(t) dt = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x $$
We need to find $$ f\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) $$.
Since $$ f $$ is continuous, we can use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Let $$ F(x) = \int_0^x f(t) dt $$. Then the given equation becomes:
$$ F(\sin x) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x $$
Differentiate both sides with respect to $$ x $$. The derivative of the left side is found using the chain rule:
$$ \frac{d}{dx} F(\sin x) = F'(\sin x) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sin x) = f(\sin x) \cdot \cos x $$
because $$ F'(u) = f(u) $$ by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
The derivative of the right side is:
$$ \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x \right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $$
So we have:
$$ f(\sin x) \cos x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $$
Solving for $$ f(\sin x) $$:
$$ f(\sin x) = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\cos x} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos x} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sec x $$
Now, we want $$ f\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) $$. Set $$ \sin x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $$. We know that $$ \sin x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $$ when $$ x = \frac{\pi}{3} $$ (considering the principal value in the interval where $$ x $$ is such that $$ \sin x $$ is in $$(-1,1)$$).
Substitute $$ x = \frac{\pi}{3} $$ into the expression:
$$ f\left( \sin \frac{\pi}{3} \right) = f\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sec \frac{\pi}{3} $$
We know that $$ \cos \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{2} $$, so $$ \sec \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{\cos \frac{\pi}{3}} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}} = 2 $$.
Therefore:
$$ f\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot 2 = \sqrt{3} $$
Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
