Question

If sin θ (1 + sin2 θ) = cos2 θ, then prove that cos6 θ – 4 cos4 θ + 8 cos2 θ = 4

Sum

Solution

sin θ (1 + sin2 θ) = cos2 θ

sin θ (1 + 1 – cos2 θ) = cos2 θ

sin θ (2 – cos2 θ) = cos2 θ

Squaring on both sides,

sin2 θ (2 – cos2 θ)2 = cos4 θ

(1 – cos2 θ) (4 + cos4 θ – 4 cos2 θ) = cos4 θ

4 cos4 θ – 4 cos2 θ – cos6 θ + 4 cos4 θ = cos4 θ

4 + 5 cos4 θ – 8 cos2 θ – cos6 θ = cos4 θ

– cos6 θ + 5cos4 θ – cos4 θ – 8 cos2 θ = – 4

– cos6 θ + 4cos4 θ – 8 cos2 θ = – 4

cos6 θ – 4cos4 θ + 8 cos2 θ = 4

Hence it is proved
