Solution:

Formula:

Domain and Range of Trigonometric Functions:

  1. We have, $\cos \theta+\sin \theta=\sqrt{2} (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \theta+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin \theta )$

$ =\sqrt{2} (\sin \frac{\pi}{4} \cdot \cos \theta+\cos \frac{\pi}{4} \cdot \sin \theta) $

$ =\sqrt{2} \sin (\frac{\pi}{4}+\theta) $

$\Rightarrow \cos \theta+\sin \theta \leq \sqrt{2}<\frac{\pi}{2}$

$ \begin{array}{rlrl} & \operatorname{as}, [\sqrt{2} & =1.4141, \frac{\pi}{2}=1.57 \text { (approx) }] \\ \Rightarrow & & \cos \theta+\sin \theta & <\frac{\pi}{2} \\ \text { Since, } & & \cos \theta & <\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin \theta \\ \Rightarrow & & \sin (\cos \theta) & <\sin (\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin \theta ) \\ \Rightarrow & & \sin (\cos \theta) & <\cos (\sin \theta) \\ \Rightarrow & & \cos (\sin \theta) & >\sin (\cos \theta) \end{array} $
