MCQ
The general solution of $\sin x - \cos x = \sqrt 2 $, for any integer $n$ is
  • A
    $n\pi $
  • $2n\pi + \frac{{3\pi }}{4}$
  • C
    $2n\pi $
  • D
    $(2n + 1)\,\pi $

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2n\pi + \frac{{3\pi }}{4}$
b
(b) $\sin x\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} - \cos x\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} = 1$

$\Rightarrow \cos \left( {x + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) = - 1$

==> $x + \frac{\pi }{4} = 2n\pi \pm \pi $

$\Rightarrow 2n\pi + \frac{{3\pi }}{4}{\rm{\,\,or\,\,}}\,\,2n\pi - \frac{{5\pi }}{4}$ .
