We Know that, Sin^2(x) + Cos^2(x) = 1 Squaring on both sides Sin^4(x) + Cos^4(x) + 2Sin^2(x)Cos^2(x) = 1 {Using (a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab } Sin^4(x) + Cos^4(x) = 1 - 2Sin^2(x)Cos^2(x)

sinx)^4+(cosx)^4 = 1 The soltion is obvious but a procedure is as below: s^4+(1-s^2)^2 = 1, where s = sinx. Also (sinx)^2+(cosx)^2 = 1 is a trigonometric identity for all x. So, (cosx)^4 = ^2 = (1-s^2)^2. Therefore, s^4+1-2s^2+s^4=1 2s^4-2s^2=0 s^4-s^2 = 0 s^2(s^2-1)=0 s^2 = 0 or s^2 = 1 s=0...

In trigonometry and in more parts of mathematics, you can not ask how much this will be as you can get and no of solutions for the same expression. So you may ask how to get the required once if you wont get that one. Please try to understand. Here we can see the above answers as well. they all are right...

So what answer you need is important that too in mathematics. Thanks. read less

Dr S, please check your expansion of Cos 2x. You have expanded cos 2x as cos^2 2x - sin^2 2x which is wrong. Mistake could be by oversight. Sorry for pointing out.

K Bala, the question seems to be sin 4x + cos 4x but you have solved for Sin^4 x + cos^4 x.
