If cos A + cos2A = 1, then sin2A + sin4 A = ?
Advertisements
Solution
cos A + cos2A = 1 ......[Given]
∴ cos A = 1 – cos2A
∴ cos A = sin2A ......`[(because sin^2"A" + cos^2"A" = 1),(therefore 1 - cos^2"A" = sin^2"A")]`
∴ cos2A = sin4A .....[Squaring both the sides]
∴ 1 – sin2A = sin4A
∴ 1 = sin4A + sin2A
∴ sin2A + sin4A = 1
