let ∣x∣=t let prove that sint≤t≤tant for0≤t<(π/2) let W(x)=t−sint ⇒W^, (t)=1−cost ≥0 t 0 (π/2) W^′ + W 0 incr 1 ⇒W(t)≥0 ⇒sint ≤t let ϕ(t)=tant −t ⇒ϕ^′ (t)=1+tan^2 t−1 =tan^2 t ≥0 ⇒ t 0 (π/2) ϕ^′ + ϕ 0 +∞ ⇒ϕ(t)≥0 ⇒t ≤tant so the result is proved .

let ∣x∣=x cos x ≤1 ≤1+tan^2 x ((d(sin x))/dx)≤ ((d(x))/dx) ≤ ((d(tan x))/dx) and at x=0 , sin x=x=tan x ; hence sin x ≤ x ≤ tan x .

$$\mathrm{let}\:\:\mid\mathrm{x}\mid=\mathrm{x} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{x}\:\leqslant\mathrm{1}\:\leqslant\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{tan}\:^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{x} \\ $$$$\:\:\frac{\mathrm{d}\left(\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{x}\right)}{\mathrm{dx}}\leqslant\:\frac{\mathrm{d}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)}{\mathrm{dx}}\:\leqslant\:\frac{\mathrm{d}\left(\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{x}\right)}{\mathrm{dx}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{at}\:\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{0}\:,\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{x}\:; \\ $$$$\mathrm{hence}\:\:\:\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{x}\:\leqslant\:\mathrm{x}\:\leqslant\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{x}\:. \\ $$

OA=1 ∠AOB=x AB^(⌢) =x AC=sin x AD=tan x AC<AB^(⌢) <AD ⇒sin x<x<tan x

$${OA}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\angle{AOB}={x} \\ $$$$\overset{\frown} {{AB}}={x} \\ $$$${AC}=\mathrm{sin}\:{x} \\ $$$${AD}=\mathrm{tan}\:{x} \\ $$$${AC}<\overset{\frown} {{AB}}<{AD} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{sin}\:{x}<{x}<\mathrm{tan}\:{x} \\ $$
