Prove the following identity :
`sin^4A + cos^4A = 1 - 2sin^2Acos^2A`
Advertisements
उत्तर
`sin^4A + cos^4A = 1 - 2sin^2Acos^2A`
⇒ `sin^4A + cos^4A + 2sin^2Acos^2A = 1`
LHS = `(sin^2A + cos^2A)^2`
= 1 = RHS

Solution:
In Δ ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠C = θ°
AB2 + BC2 = `square` .....(Pythagoras theorem)
Divide both sides by AC2
`"AB"^2/"AC"^2 + "BC"^2/"AC"^2 = "AC"^2/"AC"^2`
∴ `("AB"^2/"AC"^2) + ("BC"^2/"AC"^2) = 1`
But `"AB"/"AC" = square and "BC"/"AC" = square`
∴ `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = square`
