MCQ

Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
If $\sin\theta-\cos\theta=0,$ then the value of $(\sin^4\theta+\cos^4\theta)$ is:

A
$1$
B
$\frac{3}{4}$
✓
$\frac{1}{2}$
D
$\frac{1}{4}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\text{Given, }\sin\theta-\cos\theta=0$
$\Rightarrow\ \sin\theta=\cos\theta\Rightarrow\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=1$
$\Rightarrow\ \tan\theta=1\bigg[\because\tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\text{ and }\tan45^\circ=1\bigg]$
$\Rightarrow\ \tan\theta=\tan45^\circ$
$\therefore\ \theta=45^\circ$
$\text{Now, }\sin^4\theta+\cos^4\theta=\sin^445^\circ+\cos^445^\circ$
$=\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Big)^4+\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Big)^4\Big[\because\sin45^\circ=\cos45^\circ=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$
