The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( 4\sin^4 x + \cos^4 x = 1 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation: \[ 4\sin^4 x + \cos^4 x = 1 \] We can express \(\cos^4 x\) in terms of \(\sin^2 x\): \[ \cos^4 x = (1 - \sin^2 x)^2 \] Substituting this into the equation gives: \[ 4\sin^4 x + (1 - \sin^2 x)^2 = 1 \] ### Step 2: Expand the equation Next, we expand \((1 - \sin^2 x)^2\): \[ (1 - \sin^2 x)^2 = 1 - 2\sin^2 x + \sin^4 x \] Substituting this back into the equation: \[ 4\sin^4 x + 1 - 2\sin^2 x + \sin^4 x = 1 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Now, we simplify the equation: \[ 4\sin^4 x + \sin^4 x - 2\sin^2 x + 1 - 1 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5\sin^4 x - 2\sin^2 x = 0 \] ### Step 4: Factor the equation We can factor out \(\sin^2 x\): \[ \sin^2 x(5\sin^2 x - 2) = 0 \] This gives us two cases to solve: 1. \(\sin^2 x = 0\) 2. \(5\sin^2 x - 2 = 0\) ### Step 5: Solve the first case For the first case: \[ \sin^2 x = 0 \implies \sin x = 0 \] The general solution for this is: \[ x = n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] ### Step 6: Solve the second case For the second case: \[ 5\sin^2 x = 2 \implies \sin^2 x = \frac{2}{5} \] Taking the square root gives: \[ \sin x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} \] The general solutions for this are: \[ x = \arcsin\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}\right) + 2n\pi \quad \text{and} \quad x = \pi - \arcsin\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}\right) + 2n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] and \[ x = \arcsin\left(-\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}\right) + 2n\pi \quad \text{and} \quad x = \pi - \arcsin\left(-\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}\right) + 2n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] ### Final Answer Thus, one of the general solutions of the equation \( 4\sin^4 x + \cos^4 x = 1 \) is: \[ x = n\pi \quad \text{or} \quad x = \arcsin\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}\right) + 2n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \]
