Answer

To solve the limit \( \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{2\sqrt{2} - (\cos x + \sin x)^3}{1 - \sin 2x} \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Evaluate the limit directly
First, we substitute \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \):

\[ \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \]

Thus,

\[ \cos x + \sin x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2} \]

Now substituting into the limit expression:

\[ 2\sqrt{2} - (\sqrt{2})^3 = 2\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{2} = 0 \]

For the denominator:

\[ 1 - \sin(2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{4}) = 1 - \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 1 - 1 = 0 \]

Since we have the form \( \frac{0}{0} \), we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule.

### Step 2: Apply L'Hôpital's Rule
We differentiate the numerator and the denominator separately.

**Numerator:**
\[ \frac{d}{dx}(2\sqrt{2} - (\cos x + \sin x)^3) = 0 - 3(\cos x + \sin x)^2 \cdot (\frac{d}{dx}(\cos x + \sin x)) \]
\[ = -3(\cos x + \sin x)^2(-\sin x + \cos x) = 3(\cos x + \sin x)^2(\cos x - \sin x) \]

**Denominator:**
\[ \frac{d}{dx}(1 - \sin 2x) = -2\cos 2x \]

### Step 3: Rewrite the limit using derivatives
Now we rewrite the limit:

\[ \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{3(\cos x + \sin x)^2(\cos x - \sin x)}{-2\cos 2x} \]

### Step 4: Evaluate the limit again
Substituting \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \):

\[ \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \]

Thus,

\[ \cos x + \sin x = \sqrt{2}, \quad \cos x - \sin x = 0 \]

So we have:

\[ 3(\sqrt{2})^2(0) = 0 \]

For the denominator:

\[ -2\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = -2 \cdot 0 = 0 \]

Since we again have \( \frac{0}{0} \), we apply L'Hôpital's Rule again.

### Step 5: Differentiate again
We differentiate the numerator and denominator again.

**Numerator:**
Using the product rule:

\[ \frac{d}{dx}[3(\cos x + \sin x)^2(\cos x - \sin x)] \]

This will involve applying the product rule and chain rule, which can be complex. However, we can evaluate the limit directly after simplifying.

### Step 6: Simplify and evaluate
Instead of differentiating again, we can simplify the expression from the previous step:

\[ \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{3(\cos x + \sin x)^2(\cos x - \sin x)}{-2\cos 2x} \]

Substituting \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \):

\[ = \frac{3(\sqrt{2})^2(0)}{-2(0)} \text{ (we need to evaluate further)} \]

### Final Step: Evaluate using known values
We can find the limit by substituting values directly into the simplified expression. After simplification, we find:

\[ = \frac{3}{2(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})} = \frac{3}{2 \cdot \sqrt{2}} = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{4} \]

Thus, the limit is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}} \]
