The solution is S={3/4pi+2kpi,7/4pi+2kpi}S={34π+2kπ,74π+2kπ}, k in ZZ

Explanation:

We need

sin^2x+cos^2x=1

sin(2x)=2sinxcosx

(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab-b^2

Therefore,

(sinx-cosx)=sqrt2

Squaring both sides

(sinx-cosx)^2=(sqrt2)^2

sin^2x-2sinxcosx+cos^2x=2

1-sin(2x)=2

sin2x=-1

2x=3/2pi or 2x=7/2pi

x=3/4pi+2kpi, k in ZZ

x=7/4pi+2kpi, k inZZ
