If s i n 4 α + 4 c o s 4 β + 2 = 4 2 s i n α c o s β , α ,   β ∈ 0 …

If sin4α+4cos4β+2=42sinαcosβ, α, β0,π, then cosα+β-cosα-β is equal to
  1. -1
  2. -2
  3. 2
  4. 0

Solution

We have,

sin4α+4cos4β+2=42sin αcosβ

Applying AMGM, we get

sin4α+4cos4β+1+144sin4α·cos4β·1·114

sin4α+4cos4β+28sinαcosβ

And, AM=GMnumbers are equal and positive

sin4α=4cos4β=1

sin4α=1α=π2 and

cosβ=12β=π4

Hence,

cosα+β-cosα-β

=-2sinαsinβ

=-2×1×12=-2
