Question:

If θ be a positive acute angle satisfying sin2θ + sin4θ = 1; then the value of cot2θ + cot4θ is?

Options:

2

1

2\(\sqrt {2 }\)

0

Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

sin2θ + sin4θ = 1

⇒  sin4θ = 1 - sin2θ ⇒ sin4θ = cos2θ

⇒ tan2θsin2θ = 1

⇒ cot2θ = sin2θ

∴ cot2θ + cot4θ = sin2θ + sin4θ = 1
