sin(2x) = 24/25
So
2sinxcosx = 24/25 square both sides
4sin^2(x)cos^2(x ) = 576/625
2sin^2(x)cos^2(x ) = 576/ [ 625 * 2 ] = 288/625
cos(2x) = sqrt ( 1 - sin^2(2x) ) = sqrt ( 1 - 576/625) = sqrt ( 625 - 576] / 25 = sqrt (49) / 25 = 7/25
cos (2x) = cos^2x - sin^2x
7/25 = cos^2x - sin^2 x square both sides
49/625 = cos^4x - 2cos^2(x)sin^2(x) + sin^4x
49/625 = sin^4x + cos^4x - 288/625
[ 49 + 288 ] / 625 = sin^4x + cos^4x
337/625 = sin^4x + cos^4x
