There's a power-reducing identity \(\sin^2 u = \dfrac{1 - \cos(2u)}{2}\)
so ^^^ times 2 equals 1/2
1/2 = cos(2x)
how? \( 2 \times \dfrac{1-\cos(2\cdot 2x)}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\)
so 1/2 = cos(4x)
oh wait my bad, it should be equal to 1 not 1/2 so cos(4x) = 1
your question has 1 in it, if you check your screenshot
But there's a 2 before the sin^2(2x) so it's still 1/2
wait nvmd
... \( 2\sin^2(2x) = 1\) \( 2 \left( \dfrac{1-\cos(2\cdot 2x)}{2}\right) = 1\) \( \cancel{2}\left( \dfrac{1-\cos(2\cdot 2x)}{\cancel{2}}\right) = 1\)
e.e
how'd you do the cross out thing
but ye 1-cos(4x)=1 cos(4x)=0
and pi/2 and 3pi/2 is when cos =0
so then pi/2 + 2pik
but remember, it's cos(4x) so if we said cos(u) = 0 then u = pi/2 + \(\pi\)k but then u = 4x so you have to divide by 4
it's every pi, not 2pi
so pi/8 +pi k
you also have to divide pi*k by 4 as well
