    The period of\[sin4\text{ }x+cos4\text{ }x\]is

    A)  \[\pi \]                 

    B)  \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    C)  \[2\pi \]              

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[{{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x={{({{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\cos }^{2}}x)}^{2}}\] \[-2{{\sin }^{2}}x{{\cos }^{2}}x\] \[=1-\frac{1}{2}{{(\sin 2x)}^{2}}\] \[=1-\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{1-\cos x4x}{2} \right)\] \[=1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\cos 4x\] \[=\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\cos 4x\] Since, period of\[cos\text{ }x\]is\[2\pi \]. \[\therefore \]Period of\[cos\text{ }4x\] is\[\frac{2\pi }{4}=\frac{\pi }{2}\] Hence, period of\[si{{n}^{4}}x+co{{s}^{4}}x\]is\[\frac{\pi }{2}\].
