a: \(A=58\left(sin^6a+cos^6a\right)-87\left(sin^4a+cos^4a\right)\)
\(=58\left[\left(sin^2a+cos^2a\right)^3-3\cdot sin^2a\cdot cos^2a\cdot1\right]-87\left[\left(sin^2a+cos^2a\right)^2-2\cdot sin^2a\cdot cos^2a\cdot\right]\)
\(=-174sin^2a\cdot cos^2a+174\cdot sin^2a\cdot cos^2a\)
=0
b: \(=sin^2a+cos^2a+3=1+3=4\)
