${\sin ^4}\frac{\pi }{4} + {\sin ^4}\frac{{3\pi }}{8} + {\sin ^4}\frac{{5\pi }}{8} + {\sin ^4}\frac{{7\pi }}{8} = $
  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • $\frac{3}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{3}{2}$
c
(c) ${\sin ^4}\frac{\pi }{8} + {\sin ^4}\frac{{3\pi }}{8} + {\sin ^4}\frac{{5\pi }}{8} + {\sin ^4}\frac{{7\pi }}{8}$

$= \frac{1}{4}\,\left[ {{{\left( {2{{\sin }^2}\frac{\pi }{8}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {2{{\sin }^2}\frac{{3\pi }}{8}} \right)}^2}} \right]$

$ + \frac{1}{4}\,\left[ {{{\left( {2{{\sin }^2}\frac{\pi }{8}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {2{{\sin }^2}\frac{{3\pi }}{8}} \right)}^2}} \right]$

= $\frac{1}{4}\,\left[ {{{\left( {1 - \cos \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {1 - \cos \frac{{3\pi }}{4}} \right)}^2}} \right]$

$ + \frac{1}{4}\,\left[ {{{\left( {1 - \cos \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {1 - \cos \frac{{3\pi }}{4}} \right)}^2}} \right]$

$=  \frac{1}{4}\,\left[ {{{\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2}} \right] + \frac{1}{4}\,\left[ {{{\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2}} \right]$

$= \frac{1}{4}(3)\, + \frac{1}{4}(3) = \frac{3}{2}$.
