Solving L.H.S.,
⇒ sin2 θ + cos4 θ
= 1 - cos2 θ + (cos2 θ)2
= 1 - cos2 θ + (1 - sin2 θ)2
= 1 - cos2 θ + 1 + sin4 θ - 2sin2 θ
= 1 - cos2 θ + 1 + sin4 θ - 2(1 - cos2 θ)
= 2 - cos2 θ + sin4 θ - 2 + 2cos2 θ
= 2cos2 θ - cos2 θ + sin4 θ
= cos2 θ + sin4 θ.
Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S. hence, proved that sin2 θ + cos4 θ = cos2 θ + sin4 θ.
