2021/094) Let a and b be positive real numbers such that $a+b=1$. Prove that $a^a+b^b <=1$

We are given 

$1= a+ b = a^{a+b} + b^{a+b}$

So $1- (a^ab^b + a^b b^a)$

$=  a^{a+b} + b^{a+b} - (a^ab^b + a^b b^a)$

$= a^a(a^b-b^b) + b^a(b^b-a^b) = (a^a - b^a)(a^b - b^b)$

For a > b both the terms are non -ve so we have and if b > a then both terms are -ve and hence above is positive

$1- (a^ab^b + a^b b^a) >=0$ and hence the result
