Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∵\because cos⁡x=1−x22!+x44!−x66!+...\cos x = 1 - {{{x^2}} \over {2!}} + {{{x^4}} \over {4!}} - {{{x^6}} \over {6!}} + ...

and sin⁡x=x−x33!+x55!−x77!+....\sin x = x - {{{x^3}} \over {3!}} + {{{x^5}} \over {5!}} - {{{x^7}} \over {7!}} + ....

∴\therefore ∫01xcos⁡xdx≥∫01(x−x32!) dx\int_0^1 {x\cos xdx} \ge \int_0^1 {\left( {x - {{{x^3}} \over {2!}}} \right)} \,dx

=[x22−x48]01=12−18=38= \left[ {{{{x^2}} \over 2} - {{{x^4}} \over 8}} \right]_0^1 = {1 \over 2} - {1 \over 8} = {3 \over 8}

⇒∫01xcos⁡xdx ≥ 38\Rightarrow \int_0^1 {x\cos xdx\, \ge \,{3 \over 8}}

and, ∫01xsin⁡dx≥∫01(x2−x46) dx\int_0^1 {x\sin dx \ge \int_0^1 {\left( {{x^2} - {{{x^4}} \over 6}} \right)} \,dx}

[x33−x530]01=13−130=930=310\left[ {{{{x^3}} \over 3} - {{{x^5}} \over {30}}} \right]_0^1 = {1 \over 3} - {1 \over {30}} = {9 \over {30}} = {3 \over {10}}

⇒∫01xsin⁡xdx ≥ 310\Rightarrow \int_0^1 {x\sin xdx\, \ge \,{3 \over {10}}}

and, ∫01x2cos⁡xdx ≥ ∫01(x3−x52) dx\int_0^1 {{x^2}\cos xdx\, \ge \,\int_0^1 {\left( {{x^3} - {{{x^5}} \over 2}} \right)\,dx} }

=[x44−x612]01=14−112=212=16= \left[ {{{{x^4}} \over 4} - {{{x^6}} \over {12}}} \right]_0^1 = {1 \over 4} - {1 \over {12}} = {2 \over {12}} = {1 \over 6}

∴\therefore ∫01x2cos⁡xdx ≥ 16\int_0^1 {{x^2}\cos xdx\, \ge \,{1 \over 6}}

and, ∫01x2sin⁡xdx ≥∫01(x3−x56) dx\int_0^1 {{x^2}\sin xdx\, \ge \int_0^1 {\left( {{x^3} - {{{x^5}} \over 6}} \right)\,dx} }

=[x44−x636]01=14−136=836=29= \left[ {{{{x^4}} \over 4} - {{{x^6}} \over {36}}} \right]_0^1 = {1 \over 4} - {1 \over {36}} = {8 \over {36}} = {2 \over 9}

∴\therefore ∫01x2sin⁡xdx ≥ 29\int_0^1 {{x^2}\sin xdx\, \ge \,{2 \over 9}}
