To solve the inequality \( \sin^6 x + \cos^6 x > \frac{5}{8} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the expression We start with the expression \( \sin^6 x + \cos^6 x \). We can use the identity for the sum of cubes: \[ a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) \] Let \( a = \sin^2 x \) and \( b = \cos^2 x \). Then: ...
