Prove that `sqrt(sin^4x+4cos^2x)-sqrt(cos^4x+4sin^2x)=cos2xdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`L.H.S. = sqrt(sin^4x+4cos^2x) - sqrt(cos^4x+4sin^2x)`
`= sqrt(sin^4x+4(1-sin^2x)) - sqrt(cos^4x+4(1-cos^2x))`
`= sqrt(sin^4x+4-4sin^2x) - sqrt(cos^4x+4-4cos^2x)`
`= sqrt((sin^2x-2)^2) - sqrt((cos^2x-2)^2)`
As, `sin^2x-2 and cos^2x-2` will always be negative,
so, it becomes,
`=(2-sin^2x)-(2-cos^2x) `
`=cos^2x-sin^2x`
