#sin^4 x#

#sin^2x.sin^2 x = sin^4 x#

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

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