Answer

See below.

Work Step by Step

$sin^4\theta=(sin^2\theta)^2=(\frac{1-cos(2\theta)}{2})^2=\frac{1}{4}(1-2cos(2\theta)+cos^2(2\theta))=\frac{1}{4}(1-2cos(2\theta)+\frac{1+cos(4\theta)}{2})=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}cos(2\theta)+\frac{1}{8}cos(4\theta) =\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{2}cos(2\theta)+\frac{1}{8}cos(4\theta)$
