m=sin6x+cos6x=(sin2x+cos2x)(sin4x+cos4x-sin2xcos2x)

as a3+b3=(a+b)(a2-ab+b2)

we know that,

sin2x+cos2x=1

m=((sin2x+cos2x)2-3sin2xcos2x)

m=1-3sin2xcos2x

m=1-3/4(sin2x)2

we know 0<=sin2A<=1,

so -1<=-sin22x<=0 multiply with -1,

-3/4<=-3/4(sin22x)<=0 multiply with 3/4,

1/4<=1-3/4(sin22x)<=1 add 1,

1/4<=m<=1

therefore "m" belongs to[1,1/4].
