Question

Prove that:

sin6 θ  + cos6 θ  + 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ = 1

Sum

Solution

We have,

LHS = sin6 θ  + cos6 θ  + 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ

⇒ (sin2 θ)3 + (cos2 θ)3 + 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ

⇒ (sin2 θ + cos2 θ)3 − 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ (sin2 θ + cos2 θ) + 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ      ...[a3 + b3 = (a + b)3 − 3ab (a + b)]

⇒ 1 − 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ + 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ   

⇒ 1 = RHS
