this is easy dude...

first because of mistype i was not able to solve :P

sin4x+4cos2x

= sin4x+4(1-sin2x)

= (sin2x-2)2

square root will give sin2x-2

same way other...

so final answer is sin2x-cos2x = -cos2x

i think u mistype again.!

no buddy.. u have a small mistake.. u correct it :)

almost correct.. but not yet!

finally its
-cos2x=cos2x
=> 2cos2x=0
=> cos2x=0
=> 2x= (2n±1)π/2
=> x=(2n±1)π/4.

(correct me,if wrong.)

no sky :)

u missed it.. actually there is a small error in kumar's solutin... u have to find it :)

U mistook what i meant :)

There is a mistake in kumar's solution.. a very slight one!

Lokesh Verma ·

the mistake is essentially in taking a square root.. in the solution of kumar...

It will be great if kumar or some other person could rectify it :)

= (sin2x-2)2

square root will give sin2x-2

Here is the mistake...

square root will give 2- sin2x and not

sin2x - 2

Isnt this the mistake...

So the relation that we have to prove is proved

Solution
√Sin4x+4cos2x - √cos4x+4sin2x
√Sin4x + 4 - 4sin2x - √cos4x + 4 - 4 cos2x
√(2-sin2)2 - √(2-cos2)2
-Sin2x + 2 + cos2x - 2
-Sin2x + cos2x
= Cos2A
