Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cos^2+sin^2 = 1  ( rule)

cos^4x-cos^2x      simplify

- cos^2( -cos^2 +1  )     -cos^2 common

or  -cos^2 ( 1-cos^2)    

since cos^2 + sin^2 = 1

substitute : -cos^2 ( sin^2 )

substitute  :  -(1-sin^2 ) ( sin^2)

multiply : -sin^2 + sin^4 or sin^4 - sin^2

it is verified that sin^4 -sin^2= cos^4-cos^2

hope it helps
