\[- 1 \leq \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin\alpha + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cos\alpha \leq 1\]
\[\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin\alpha + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cos\alpha =\]
\[= \cos\frac{\pi}{4}\sin\alpha + \sin\frac{\pi}{4}\cos\alpha =\]
\[= \sin\left( \frac{\pi}{4} + \alpha \right)\]
\[- 1 \leq \sin\left( \frac{\pi}{4} + \alpha \right) \leq 1 \Longrightarrow\]
\[\Longrightarrow - 1 \leq \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin\alpha + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cos\alpha \leq 1.\]
