Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{8}$
Solution :
Given: $\cos\theta - \sin\theta =0$
⇒ $\sin\theta = \cos\theta$
$\sin\theta$'s value is only equal with $\cos\theta$ when $\theta = 45°$
⇒ $\sin\theta = \cos\theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt2}$
$(\sin^8\theta+\cos^8\theta)$
= $(\sin^845°+\cos^845°)$
= $(\frac{1}{\sqrt2})^8+ (\frac{1}{\sqrt2})^8$
= $\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{16}$
= $\frac{2}{16}$
= $\frac{1}{8}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{8}$.
