f'(x)=sinx+xcosx/(sinx)^2=1/sinx(x)+xcos(x)/(sinx)^2
f'(x)>0 for all x in 0 to p/4
hence function in monotonically increasing.

f'(x)=sinx-xcosx/(sinx)^2

for small x, sinx=x
f'(x)=x(1-cos x)> greater than zero
for higher values of x, also f'(x)>0, hence the function f(x) is monotonically increasing.
