Solution
LHS = 2(sin6θ + cos6θ) - 3 ( sin4θ + cos4θ) + 1
= 2( sin2θ + cos2θ ) [ sin4θ + cos4θ - sin2θ.cos2θ ] - 3[ ( sin2θ + cos2θ )2 - 2sin2θ. cos2θ + 1
= 2 x 1 [ ( sin2θ + cos2θ )2 - 2 sin2θ.cos2θ - sin2θ.cos2θ ] - 3[ (1)2 - 2sin2θ. cos2θ ] + 1
= 2 [ (1)2 - 3 sin2θ.cos2θ ] - 3 [ 1 - 2 sin2θ. cos2θ ] + 1
= 2 - 6 sin2θ. cos2θ - 3 + 6 sin2θ. cos2θ + 1
= - 1 + 1 = 0
= RHS
Hence proved.
