$(\sin\, x)^{\sin\, x}\,<(\cos\, x)^{\cos\, x} $ and $(\sin\, x)^{\sin\, x}\,>(\cos\, x)^{\cos\, x} $ is always true for all x such that $0 \,< \, x \, < \pi/4$ Identify the inequality and prove it
The inequality $(\sin\, x)^{\sin\, x}\,<(\cos\, x)^{\cos\, x}$ states that, for any given value of x, the sine of x raised to the power of the sine of x is always less than the cosine of x raised to the power of the cosine of x.
This inequality can be proved using basic algebraic manipulation and the properties of exponents and trigonometric functions. One approach is to convert the trigonometric functions into their exponential forms, then compare the exponents on both sides of the inequality.
Yes, this inequality holds true for all real values of x. However, the range of x may need to be restricted to ensure that the expressions are well-defined and the inequality is meaningful.
Yes, there is a geometric interpretation of this inequality. It can be interpreted as the area under the curve of the sine function being smaller than the area under the curve of the cosine function, for any given interval of x.
No, this inequality only holds true for the sine and cosine functions. It cannot be extended to other trigonometric functions, such as tangent or secant.
