let (√(sin x))=u  and (√(cos x))=v  this means  u+v=1       ...(i)  further as,   sin^2 x+cos^2 x=1      u^4 +v^4 =1                          ...(ii)  we should know     (u+v)^4 =u^4 +v^4 +uv(u^2 +v^2 )                             +3uv(u+v)^2   using (i) and (ii):    1=1+uv(1−2uv)+3uv  ⇒  uv(1−2uv+3)=0  uv=0  , or  uv=2  since   (√(sin x))(√(cos x))≠2,   so  uv=(√(sin x))(√(cos x))=0  ⇒ either  sin x=0, or cos x=0   and since here sin x≥0 , cos x≥0     x=2nπ   or  x=2nπ+(π/2) .

sin 2x=0  but cos x≥0  ⇒x=2kπ and 2kπ+(π/2)
