If sin θ + sin2 θ = 1; then prove that cos2 θ + cos4 θ = 1.

Theorem

Solution

Given: sin θ + sin2 θ = 1

To prove: cos2 θ + cos4 θ = 1

Proof:

⇒ sin θ + (1 – cos2 θ) = 1

⇒ sin θ – cos2 θ = 0

⇒ sin θ = cos2 θ

Squaring both sides, we get

sin2 θ = cos4 θ

⇒ 1 – cos2 θ = cos4 θ

⇒ cos4 θ + cos2 θ = 1

Hence Proved.
