Prove sin^6x+cos^6x+3 sin^2x cos^2x=1

 see proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for factoring a cubic:   (a³ + b³) = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)

and the formula for a perfect square:    a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)²

and the Pythagorean Identity:               cos²x + sin²x = 1

Proof LHS →  RHS

Given:                     sin⁶x + cos⁶x       + 3sin²x cos²x

Regroup:            (sin²x)³ + (cos²x)³     + 3sin²x cos²x

Factor Cubic:     (sin²x + cos²x)(sin⁴x - sin²x cos²x +  cos⁴x)   + 3sin²x cos²x

Pythagorean Identity:             1(sin⁴x - sin²x cos²x +  cos⁴x)   + 3sin²x cos²x

Add like terms:                         sin⁴x + 2sin²x cos²x +  cos⁴x

Regroup:                               (sin²x)² + 2sin²x cos²x +  (cos²x)²

Factor Perfect Square:                      (sin²x + cos²x)²

Pythagorean Identity:                                 (1)²

Simplify:                                                        1

LHS = RHS:   1 = 1    

answer: domain and range mean all possible values of x and y that could be substituted to the inequality. a solution means all possible values that make the inequality statement true. so while the range is still all real numbers, the solution is the shaded area, for which y will always be greater than the line of the function.
