Question:

If $cos^2 θ+cos^4θ=1,$ then the value of $sinθ +sin^2θ$ is :

Options:

0

$\frac{1}{2}$

2

1

Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

cos²θ + cos4θ = 1

cos4θ = 1 - cos²θ

{ using   sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 }

cos4θ = sin²θ

and cos²θ = sinθ

Now,

sinθ + sin²θ 

= cos²θ + cos4θ

= 1               { given :- cos²θ + cos4θ = 1 }
