Q.

if (sin^4x)/a + (cos^4x)/b = (1/(a +b))

Prove that (sin^8x)/a^3 + (cos^8x)/b^3 = (1/(a +b)^3)

cos^4x=(cos^2x)^2=(1-sin^2x)^2=1+ sin^4x-2sin^2x 

=>sin^4x / a +cos^4x / b=1/a+b 


=>sin^4x/a + (1+sin^4x-2sin^2x)/b = 1/(a+b) 

[b*sin^4x + a(sin^4x-2sin^2x+1)] /ab = 1/(a+b) 

=>[(a+b)sin^4x-2a sin^2x+a]/ab = 1/a+b 

=>(a+b)^2 sin^4x - 2a(a+b)sin^2x + a(a+b) =ab 

=>(a+b)^2 sin^4x - 2a(a+b)sin^2x + a^2 


=> [(a+b)sin^2x-a]^2 = 0 
=>(a+b)sin^2x - a = 0 

sin^2x=a/(a+b).........(1) 
(take fourth power of both side) 
=>sin^8x=a^4/(a+b)^4 
(divide by a^3 both side) 
=>sin^8x/a^3=a/(a+b)^4. 
........(2) 
=>cos^2x=1 - sin^2x=1-a/(a+b)=b/(a+b). (from eq 1 substituting value of sin^2x) 

=>cos^2x=b/(a+b)...........(3) 
(take fourth power of both side) 

=>cos^8x=b^4/(a+b)^4 
(divide by b^3 both side) 
=>cos^8x/b^3 =b/(a+b)^4......(4) 

(adding eq 2@4) 
=>sin^8x/a^3 + cos^8x/b^3=a/(a+b)^4 + b/(a+b)^4 =(a+b)/(a+b)^4=1/(a+b)^3 ........proved

Sin^4x/a +cos^4x/b =1/(a+b)....eq(1)(1-cos^2x)b + cos^4xa =ab/(a+b)b+bcos^4x-2bcos^2x+cos^4ax-ab/(a+b)=0Cos^4x(a+b)-2bcos^2x +b-ab/(a+b)=0Cos^4x(a+b)^2-2b(a+b)cos^2x+b^2=0Cos^2x= (2b(a+b)+-√((4b^2(a+b)^2-4b^2(a+b)^2))/2(a+b)=b/(a+b)------by quadratic equationSo, cos^4x=b^2/(a+b)^2And sin^4xb=ab/(a+b) - cos^4xa by eq(1)so sin^4x=a^2/(a+b)^2Putting sin^8x/b^3+cos^8x/a^3, the values of sin and cos we get,(a+b)/(a+b)^4=1/(a+b)^3

Dear Student

sin4 x/a + cos4 x /b = 1/(a + b)

=> sin4 x/a + (cos2 x)2/b = 1/(a + b)

=>( sin2 x)2/a + (1 - sin2 x)2/b = 1/(a + b)

Let, sin2 x = k

k2/a + (1 - k)2/b = 1/(a + b)

=> [bk2 + a(1 - k)2]/ab = 1/(a+ b)

=> [bk2 +a(1 - 2k + k2)]/ab = 1/(a + b)

=> [bk2 + a - 2ak + ak2]/ab = 1/(a + b)

=> [k2(a + b) - 2ak + a]/ab = 1/(a + b)

=> k2(a + b)2 - 2a(a + b)k + a(a + b) - ab = 0

=> k2(a+ b)2 - 2a(a + b)k + a2 + ab - ab = 0

=> k2(a + b)2 - 2a(a + b)k + a2 = 0

=> {k(a + b)}2 - 2.k(a + b).a + (a)2 = 0

=> [k(a+ b) - a]2 = 0

=> k(a + b) - a = 0

=> k(a + b) = a

=> k = a/(a + b)

Hence,

sin2 x = a/(a+ b)

cos2 x = 1 - a/(a + b) =[a + b - a] /(a + b) = b/(a+ b)

Now,
sin8 x = (sin2 x)4 = [a/(a + b)]4 = a4/(a + b)4

=> sin8 x/a3 = a4/(a + b)4.a3 = a/(a + b)4

Similarly, cos8 x = (cos2 x)4 = [b/(a + b)]4
= b4/(a + b)4

=> cos8 x/b3 = b4/(a + b)4.b3 = b/(a + b)4

Now, sin8 x/a3 + cos8x /b3

= a/(a+ b)4 + b/(a + b)4

= (a + b)/(a+ b)4

= 1/(a + b)3
Hence Proved.

I hope this anwer will help you.
Thanks & Regards
