We Know that
Sin^2x
 
Also Cos^2x >= Cos^4x
Add sin^2x both sides
Cos^2x + sin^2x >= Cos^4x + sin^2x
 1 >= Cos^4x + sin^2x
Therefore max of A is 1
Also both terms 
 
Cos^4x + sin^2x
= (1 – sin^2x)^2 + sin^2x
= 1 + sin^4x – 2sin^2x + sin^2x
=Sin^4x – sinn^2x + 1
 = (sin^2x – 1/2)^2  + 3/4
now Min =3/4 and Max = 1
