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

    sin^2(x)sin^2(x)+cos^4(x)

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

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

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

    I went to the moon and back with no verification. You drove down easy lane to verify this problem.
    Is 52 correct?

    What about the link below?
