Question:

If tan2 θ + tan4 θ = 1, then:

Options:

cot2 θ + cot4 θ = 1

cos2 θ + cos4 θ = 1

sin2 θ + sin4 θ = 1

cosec2 θ + sec4 θ = 1

Correct Answer:

cos2 θ + cos4 θ = 1

Explanation:

Given :-

tan2 θ + tan4 θ = 1  ----(1)

tan2 θ( 1 + tan2 θ ) = 1

tan2 θ . sec2 θ = 1

tan2 θ = cos2 θ

Put value of  tan2 θ in equation 1 

So , cos2 θ + cos4 θ = 1 , option 2 is correct
