If  m and M are the minimum and the maximum values of

4 + $${1 \over 2}$$ sin² 2x $$-$$ 2cos⁴ x, x $$ \in $$ R, then M $$-$$ m is equal to :

Let $$f_k\left( x \right) = {1 \over k}\left( {{{\sin }^k}x + {{\cos }^k}x} \right)$$ where $$x \in R$$ and $$k \ge \,1.$$
Then $${f_4}\left( x \right) - {f_6}\left( x \right)\,\,$$ equals :

The expression $${{\tan {\rm A}} \over {1 - \cot {\rm A}}} + {{\cot {\rm A}} \over {1 - \tan {\rm A}}}$$ can be written as:

If $$A = {\sin ^2}x + {\cos ^4}x,$$ then for all real $$x$$:
