    The    period    of   the    function \[f(x)={{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x\] is   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2002

    A) \[\pi \]       

    B)                           \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    C)           \[2\pi \]                  

    D)           None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Since, \[f(x)={{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x\]                    \[={{({{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\cos }^{2}}x)}^{2}}-2{{\sin }^{2}}x{{\cos }^{2}}x\]                    \[=1-\frac{1}{2}{{(2\sin x\cos x)}^{2}}\]                    \[=1-\frac{1}{2}{{(\sin 2x)}^{2}}=1-\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{1-\cos 4x}{2} \right)\]                    \[=\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\cos 4x\] Since, \[\cos x\] is periodic with period \[2\pi \]. \[\therefore \] The period of \[f(x)=\frac{2\pi }{4}=\frac{\pi }{2}\].
