    If sin⁡4θ−cos⁡4θ=12\sin^4 \theta - \cos^4 \theta = \frac{1}{2}sin4θ−cos4θ=21​, find the value of 2sin⁡2θ−12 \sin^2 \theta - 12sin2θ−1.​
    Question

    If sin4θcos4θ=12\sin^4 \theta - \cos^4 \theta = \frac{1}{2}, find the value of 2sin2θ12 \sin^2 \theta - 1.​

    A.

    1

    B.

    12\frac{1}{2}​​

    C.

    ​​32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}​​

    D.

    12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

    Correct option is B

    Given: 

    sin4θcos4θ=12\sin^4 \theta - \cos^4 \theta = \frac{1}{2} 

    Formula Used: 

    a4b4=(a2b2)(a2+b2) sin2θ+cos2θ=1a^4 -b^4 =(a^2-b^2)(a^2+b^2) \\ \ \\ \sin^2\theta +\cos^2\theta = 1

    Solution: 

    sin4θcos4θ=12 (sin2θcos2θ)(sin2θ+cos2θ)=12 sin2θcos2θ=12 sin2θ(1sin2θ)=12 2sin2θ1=12\sin^4 \theta - \cos^4 \theta = \frac{1}{2} \\ \ \\ (\sin^2 \theta - \cos^2 \theta)(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta) = \frac{1}{2} \\ \ \\ \sin^2 \theta - \cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{2} \\ \ \\ \sin^2 \theta - (1 -\sin^2 \theta) = \frac{1}{2} \\ \ \\ 2\sin^2 \theta -1 = \frac{1}{2} ​
