Answer:

(the relation you wrote is not correct, there may be something missing, so I will simplify the initial expression)

Here we have the equation:

sin^4(x) + cos^4(x)

We can rewrite this as:

(sin^2(x))^2 + (cos^2(x))^2

Now we can add and subtract cos^2(x)*sin^2(x) to get:

(sin^2(x))^2 + (cos^2(x))^2 + 2*cos^2(x)*sin^2(x) - 2*cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)

We can complete squares to get:

(cos^2(x) + sin^2(x))^2 - 2*cos(x)^2*sin(x)^2

and we know that:

cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1

then:

1 - 2*sin(x)^2*cos(x)^2

This is the closest expression to what you wrote.

We also know that:

sin(x)*cos(x) = (1/2)*sin(2*x)

If we replace that, we get:

1 - \frac{sin^2(2*x)}{2}

Then the simplification is:

cos^4(x) + sin^4(x)  = 1 - \frac{sin^2(2*x)}{2}

rjkz [21]
One cat has four paws, so there are 120/4=30 cats.  If a "set" of cats is two uncool cats and three cool cats, there are five cats in a set, so there are 30/5=6 sets.  Since each of the six sets contains three cool cats, there are 18 cool cats in the family.

Answer: 8x

2.9543127e+21xy

9x

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2=16x     28x=28x     36=36      16x+28x-36   16+28=44-36=8x

125x^6= 30517578125x    27y^15= 2.9543127e+21                             30517578125x-2.9543127e+21= 2.9543127e+21xy

4-7=3+x=3x    5-8=3+x=3x   3x * 3x= 9x
