cos^4x^2-2cos^2x+1=0

Explanation:

the formula is sin^2x+cos^2x=1

sin^2x =1-cos^2x

Substitute this instead of sin^2x sin^2x

The equation is now like this:

(1-cos^2x)(1-cos^2x)=0

Multiply out the brackets:

1-cos^2x-cos^2x+cos^4x^2

Group like terms and put them in the right order:

cos^4x^2-2cos^2x+1=0
