Let's simplify the expression:
= (8sin^4(3π/20) - 8cos^4(3π/20)) / sin(4π/5)
Now, recall the trigonometric identity: sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1.
Since we are dealing with sin^4 and cos^4, we can square this identity:
(sin^2θ + cos^2θ)^2 = 1sin^4θ + 2sin^2θcos^2θ + cos^4θ = 1
Therefore, 2sin^2θcos^2θ = sin^4θ + cos^4θ - 1
Now, let's rewrite the expression using the identity we just derived:
= 8(sin^4(3π/20) + cos^4(3π/20) - 1) / sin(4π/5)
= 8(sin^4(3π/20) + cos^4(3π/20) - 1) / (2sin(2π/5)cos(2π/5))
= 8(sin^4(3π/20) + cos^4(3π/20) - 1) / (2 2 sin(π/5) * cos(π/5))
= 8(sin^4(3π/20) + cos^4(3π/20) - 1) / (4sin(3π/20))
At this point, it is difficult to simplify the expression further without specific values for sin(3π/20) and cos(3π/20).
