SUMMARY
The trigonometric inequality $$\frac{\sin^3 x}{(1+\sin^2 x)^2}+\frac{\cos^3 x}{(1+\cos^2 x)^2}\lt \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{16}$$ is proven to hold for all real numbers x. The discussion highlights various methods to approach the proof, emphasizing the importance of understanding the behavior of sine and cosine functions within the specified bounds. Participants, including a user named Albert, contributed insights and hints for alternative proof strategies.
