Trigonometric inequalities with substitution

Using inequality $tan frac{x}{2} > frac{x}{2}$ prove that $sin x > x- frac{x^3}{4}$



I tried with substitution $tan frac{x}{2} = t$



$sin x = frac{2t}{t^2+1}$



$t>frac{x}{2}$



$2t>x$



$t^2+1>1+frac{x^2}{4}$



After this I am unable to do it
Please help me
Thank you

  • NB both the original and derived identities are only valid for $x > 0$.

We know that, $$1-t^4<1$$



$Longrightarrow frac{1}{1+t^2}>1-t^2$



$Longrightarrow frac{2t}{1+t^2}>2t-2t^3>2(frac{x}{2})-2(frac{x}{2})^3$



$Longrightarrow sin(x)>x-frac{x^3}{4}$



Hence proved.



Hope it helps:)
