The expression cos⁴ θ in terms of the first power of cosine is <u>[ 3 + 2cos 2θ + cos 4θ]/8.</u>

The power-reducing formula, for cosine, is,

cos² θ = (1/2)[1 + cos 2θ].

In the question, we are asked to use the formulas for lowering powers to rewrite the expression in terms of the first power of cosine cos⁴ θ.

We can do it as follows:

cos⁴ θ

= (cos² θ)²

= {(1/2)[1 + cos 2θ]}²

= (1/4)[1 + cos 2θ]²

= (1/4)(1 + 2cos 2θ + cos² 2θ] {Using (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²}

= 1/4 + (1/2)cos 2θ + (1/4)(cos ² 2θ)

= 1/4 + (1/2)cos 2θ + (1/4)(1/2)[1 + cos 4θ]

= 1/4 + cos 2θ/4 + 1/8 + cos 4θ/8

= 3/8 + cos 2θ/4 + cos 4θ/8

= [ 3 + 2cos 2θ + cos 4θ]/8.

Thus, the expression cos⁴ θ in terms of the first power of cosine is <u>[ 3 + 2cos 2θ + cos 4θ]/8</u>.
