Solution
`bb(1/2)`
Explanation:
It is given that,
\[\sin\theta - \cos\theta = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \sin\theta = \cos\theta\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \tan\theta = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \tan\theta = \tan45°\]
\[ \Rightarrow \theta = 45°\]
\[\therefore \sin^4 \theta + \cos^4 \theta\]
\[ = \sin^4 45° + \cos^4 45°\]
\[ = \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)^4 + \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)^4 \]
\[ = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}\]
\[ = \frac{1}{2}\]
