Use the​ power-reducing formulas to rewrite the expression as an equivalent expression that does not contain powers of trigonometric functions greater than 1. 2(sin^4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) = {[1 - cos (2x)]/2}*{[1 + cos (2x)]/2}

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) =[ 1 - cos^2 (2x)]/4

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) = (1/4) - (1/4) * cos^2 (2x)

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) =  (1/4) - (1/4) * {[1 + cos (2*2x)]/2}

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) =  (1/4) - (1/8) * [1 + cos (4x)]

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) =  (1/4) - (1/8) - (1/8)* [cos (4x)]

Sin^2 (x) * Cos^2 (x) =  (1/8) - (1/8)* [cos (4x)]
