Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} f (x) = \frac{\sin x + \cos x - \sqrt{2}}{\sin x - \cos x} \\ f (x) = \frac{\sqrt{2} \sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) - \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2} (\sin (x - \frac{π}{4}))} \\ f (x) = \frac{\sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) - 1}{\sin (x - \frac{π}{4})} \\ f (x + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{\cos x - 1}{\sin x} \\ = - \tan \frac{x}{2} \\ \Rightarrow f (x) = - \tan (\frac{x}{2} - \frac{π}{8}) \\ \begin{array}{l} f^{'} (x) = \frac{- 1}{2} \sec^{2} (\frac{x}{2} - \frac{π}{8}) \\ f^{''} (x) = \frac{1}{2} (\sec^{2} (\frac{x}{2} - \frac{π}{8}) \tan (\frac{x}{2} - \frac{π}{8})) \\ f (\frac{7 π}{12}) = - \tan (\frac{7 π}{24} - \frac{π}{8}) \\ = - \tan (\frac{4 π}{24}) \\ = - \tan (\frac{π}{6}) = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \end{array} \end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l} f^{''} (\frac{7 π}{12}) = - \frac{1}{2} \times {(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}})}^{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \\ = \frac{- 2}{3 \sqrt{3}} \\ f (\frac{7 π}{12}) f^{''} (\frac{7 π}{12}) = \frac{2}{9} \end{array}$
