Find minimum value of function  f(x)=sin^7 (x)+cos^(11) (x)

$${Find}\:{minimum}\:{value}\:{of}\:{function} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{sin}\:^{\mathrm{7}} \left({x}\right)+\mathrm{cos}\:^{\mathrm{11}} \left({x}\right) \\ $$

−1≤f(x)≤1  is there an easy way to show?

$$−\mathrm{1}\leqslant{f}\left({x}\right)\leqslant\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{there}\:\mathrm{an}\:\mathrm{easy}\:\mathrm{way}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{show}? \\ $$

sin^7 (x)=sin^2 (x).sin^5 (x)  −1≤sin^5 (x)≤1,  −1≤cos^9 (x≤1  ⇒−sin^2 (x)−cos^2 (x)≤sin^7 (x)+cos^(11) (x)≤sin^2 (x)+cos^2 (x)  ⇔  −1≤f(x)≤1  f(0)=1  f(−(π/2))=−1  minf=−1,maxf=1

$${sin}^{\mathrm{7}} \left({x}\right)={sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \left({x}\right).{sin}^{\mathrm{5}} \left({x}\right) \\ $$$$−\mathrm{1}\leqslant{sin}^{\mathrm{5}} \left({x}\right)\leqslant\mathrm{1}, \\ $$$$−\mathrm{1}\leqslant{cos}^{\mathrm{9}} \left({x}\leqslant\mathrm{1}\right. \\ $$$$\Rightarrow−{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \left({x}\right)−{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \left({x}\right)\leqslant{sin}^{\mathrm{7}} \left({x}\right)+{cos}^{\mathrm{11}} \left({x}\right)\leqslant{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \left({x}\right)+{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \left({x}\right) \\ $$$$\Leftrightarrow \\ $$$$−\mathrm{1}\leqslant{f}\left({x}\right)\leqslant\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{0}\right)=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${f}\left(−\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\right)=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${minf}=−\mathrm{1},{maxf}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$
