<s>[INST] If $\cos^6 (x) + \sin^4 (x)=1$, find $x$ if $x\in [0, \dfrac {\pi}{2}]$ If $\cos^6 (x) + \sin^4 (x)=1$, find $x$ if $x\in [0, \dfrac {\pi}{2}]$
My attempt:
$$\cos^6 (x) + \sin^4 (x)=1$$
$$\cos^6 (x) + (1-\cos^2 (x))^{2}=1$$
$$\cos^6 (x) + 1 - 2\cos^2 (x) + \cos^4 (x) = 1$$
$$\cos^6 (x) + \cos^4 (x) - 2\cos^2 (x)=0$$
 [/INST] $$1=\cos^6x+\sin^4x\leq\cos^2x+\sin^2x=1,$$ which gives the following system.
$$\cos^6x=\cos^2x$$ and $$\sin^4x=\sin^2x.$$
Can you end it now?
