Prove this identity.

rn

If sin A + sin2 A = 1, prove that cos2 A + cos4 A = 1.

Open in App
Solution

Now from the first equation , sinA + sin2A = 1

sinA = 1 - sin2A

Using the identity( sin2A = 1 - cos2A) we get ,

sinA = cos2A

Substitute this value in the first equation , u get

sinA + sin2A = 1

cos2A + (cos2A)2 = 1

cos2A + Cos4A = 1

Hence Proved.
