Answer

$x=\{\frac{3\pi}{4}\}$

Work Step by Step

$sin(x)-cos(x)=\sqrt{2}$ $(sin(x)-cos(x))^2=(\sqrt{2})^2\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ $sin^2(x)-2sin(x)cos(x)+cos^2(x)=2\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ $-2sin(x)cos(x)+1=2$ $-sin(2x)=1$ $sin(2x)=-1$ $2x= sin^{-1}(-1)$ $2x=\frac{3\pi}{2}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ Divided each side by $2$ $x=\frac{3\pi}{4}$ $x=\{\frac{3\pi}{4}\}$
