2. If I do sin(l1).^2*cos(l1).^2 I also don't get approx. numbers.
3. (sin(l1).^2).*(cos(l1).^2) also no approx. numbers.
4. sin(l1).^2.*cos(l1).^2 it gives approx. numbers.

The rule (in exact mode) is that a number in floating point format (containing a decimal separator character or an exponent part) is considered to be approximate, and a number in integer format (no decimal separator character or exponent part) is considered to be exact. Mixing approximate numbers with exact numbers gives an approximate result.
