The minimum value of f

f\left( x \right) = {\sin ^4}\,\,x + {\cos ^4}\,\,x,\,\;0 \le \,\,x\,\, \le \,\,\frac{\pi }{2}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\frac{1}{2}

Option D (

\frac{1}{2}

) is correct because the minimum value of the function

f(x) = \sin^4 x + \cos^4 x

is found by rewriting it in terms of

\sin^2 2x

and minimizing that expression.
