Question

Which fundamental identity is used in the second step of proof?

Answer 1

Answer:

C) sin^2(Ф) + cos^2(Ф) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

sin^2(Ф) - cos^2(Ф)sin^2(Ф) = sin^4(Ф)

LHS = sin^2(Ф) - cos^2(Ф)sin^2(Ф)

Step 1: sin^2(Ф) [ 1 - cos^2(Ф)]

Now we use the identity sin^2(Ф) + cos^2(Ф) = 1 because sin^2(Ф) = 1- cos^2(Ф)

Step 2: Using the above identity

sin^2(Ф) (sin^2(Ф)) = sin^4 (Ф)

Answer: C) sin^2(Ф) + cos^2(Ф) = 1
