    \[\int{\left( {{\sin }^{4}}x-{{\cos }^{4}}x \right)\,dx=}\] [RPET 2003]

    A)            \[-\frac{\cos 2x}{2}+c\]

    B)            \[-\frac{\sin 2x}{2}+c\]

    C)            \[\frac{\sin 2x}{2}+c\]

    D)   \[\frac{\cos 2x}{2}+c\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[\int{({{\sin }^{4}}x-{{\cos }^{4}}x)dx}=\int{({{\sin }^{2}}x-{{\cos }^{2}}x)}\,({{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\cos }^{2}}x)\,dx\]                    \[=\int{({{\sin }^{2}}x-{{\cos }^{2}}x)\,dx}\]\[=-\int_{{}}^{{}}{({{\cos }^{2}}x-{{\sin }^{2}}x)dx}\]                    \[=-\int_{{}}^{{}}{\cos 2x\,dx}\]\[=\frac{-\sin 2x}{2}+c\].
