Homework Statement
how to show using MVT that cos(cos x) is a contraction.
Homework Equations
| d/dx (cos(cos x)) | = | sin(cos x) sin(x) | < sin 1 < 1
The Attempt at a Solution
Using that relation, the original problem is easily solved. My question is, how do we know:
| sin(cos x) sin(x) | < sin 1 ?
