![your method is ok but the conclusions might be wrong in qu.32220 we were looking for solutions, here we′re looking for all distinct solutions, so there must be 4 in [0;π] it seems difficult to understand the nature of the connection between the functions f(x)=c_1 sin^4 x+c_2 sin^2 x+c_3 g(s)=c_1 s^4 +c_2 s^2 +c_3 h(t)=c_1 t^2 +c_2 t+c_3 you should draw them or plot them, if possible.](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q32616.png)
