2022/028) Solve \sin ^5 x + \cos^5 x = 1

 We know as -1 \le \sin\, x \le 1 so sin^5 x \ le sin ^2 x. they are same when sin x = 0 or 1 otherwise  \sin^5 x \lt sin ^2 x

similarly \cos^5 x \le \cos ^2 x. they are same when cos  x = 0 or 1 otherwise  cos^5 x \ lt cos  ^2 x

so \sin ^5 x + \cos^5 x \le \sin ^2 x + \cos^2 x or 1 they are same when \sin \, x = 0 or and \cos\,x = 0 or 1 that is one of them is zero and another 1

this is possible when \sin\, x = 0 and \cos\,x = 1 that is x = 2n\pi

or \sin\, x = 1 and \cos\,x = 0 that is x = (2n + \frac{1}{2}) \pi

hence x \in \{ 2n\pi, (2n + \frac{1}{2}) \pi \}
