If sin A+ Sin^2 A=1, then find the value of the expression (cos^2 A+Cos^4A)​

Answer»

ong>ANSWER:

Our starting GOAL is to turn all terms into cosine. Use the identity

sin

2

θ

+

cos

2

θ

=

1

.

sin

a

+

1

cos

2

a

=

1

sin

a

cos

2

a

=

0

sin

a

=

cos

2

a

SQUARE both sides to get RID of the sine.

(

sin

a

)

2

=

(

cos

2

a

)

2

sin

2

a

=

cos

4

Reuse

sin

2

θ

+

cos

2

θ

=

1

:

1

cos

2

a

=

cos

4

a

1

=

cos

4

a

+

cos

2

a

HOPEFULLY this helps!
