we should know that
sin²x+cos²x=1
let
sinx+cosx=k
then
(sinx+cosx)²=k²
sin²x+cos²2sinx*cosx=k²
1+2sinx*cosx=k²
since x is acute this means x lies in 1st quadrant
In 1st quadrant sinx and cosx are positive
therefore
2sinx*cosx=positive
we also know that
√(1+a)>1
where a=some positive constant
Hence
1+2sinx*cosx=k²
k=√(1 + positive value)
>1
k>1
sinx + cosx > 1
Hope this helps.
