Answer
View full question & answer→$\sin\text{x}$ lies between [-1, 1]
$\sin^{14}\text{x}$ (power is even) will lie between [0, 1]
Simillarly,
$\cos\text{x}$ lies between [-1, 1]
$\cos^{20}\text{x}$ (power is even) will lie between [0, 1]
$\therefore \sin^{14}\text{x}+\cos^{20}\text{x}$ Will have maximum value 1.
$(\because$ when $\sin\text{x}=0, \cos\text{x}=1$and vice a versa $)$
$\therefore\text{x}=\sin^{14}\text{x}+\cos^{20}\text{x}$ lies in the (0, 1) interval.
$\sin^{14}\text{x}$ (power is even) will lie between [0, 1]
