Question
If sin θ + sin2 θ = 1 show that: cos2 θ + cos4 θ = 1
Advertisements
Solution
sin θ + sin2 θ = 1 ......[Given]
∴ sin θ = 1 − sin2 θ
∴ sin θ = cos2 θ ......[∵ 1 − sin2 θ = cos2 θ]
∴ sin2 θ = cos4 θ ......[Squaring both the sides]
∴ 1 − cos2 θ = cos4 θ ......[∵ sin2 θ = 1 − cos2 θ]
∴ 1 = cos2 θ + cos4 θ
∴ cos2 θ + cos4 θ = 1
