$1 - {(\frac{p^{2} - 1}{2})}^{2}$ $1-((p^2-1)/2)^2$

Explanation:

${(sin θ + cos θ)}^{2} = 1 + 2 sin θ cos θ = p^{2}$ $(sintheta+costheta)^2= 1+2sinthetacostheta = p^2$

so

$sin θ cos θ = \frac{p^{2} - 1}{2}$ $sinthetacostheta = (p^2-1)/2$

now

${sin}^{2} θ + {cos}^{4} θ = {sin}^{2} θ + (1 - {sin}^{2} θ) {cos}^{2} θ = 1 - {sin}^{2} θ {cos}^{2} θ$ $sin^2theta+cos^4theta=sin^2theta+(1-sin^2theta)cos^2theta=1-sin^2thetacos^2theta$

and putting all together

${sin}^{2} θ + {cos}^{4} θ = 1 - {(\frac{p^{2} - 1}{2})}^{2}$ $sin^2theta+cos^4theta = 1-((p^2-1)/2)^2$
