The greatest value of sin4θ + cos4θ is?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
$$\eqalign{
& {\sin ^2}\theta + {\cos ^2}\theta = 1 \cr
& {\text{Squaring both sides}} \cr
& {\sin ^4}\theta + {\cos ^4}\theta \cr
& = 1 - 2{\sin ^2}\theta . {\cos ^2}\theta \cr
& {\text{Put}}\,\theta = {90^ \circ } \cr
& = 1 - 2{\sin ^2}{90^ \circ } \times {\cos ^2}{90^ \circ } \cr
& = 1 - 0 \cr
& = 1 \cr} $$
