(In reply to Trigonometric solution by Steve Herman)

Having sin(x)<cos(x) in itself doesn't show (sin(x))^(sin(x)) < (cos(x))^(cos(x)). It depends on some relationship between the sine function and the cosine function.


For example .1 < .5, but .1^.1 > .5^.5 (it's   .7943282347242815 vs   .7071067811865476).
