Just a bit of trigonometry:

cos(a+b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b)

Let put a = x and b = -45°

cos(x - 45) = cos(x)cos(45°) - sin(x)sin(-45°)

cos(45°) = sin(45°) = -sin(45°) = sqrt(2)/2

Then it comes

cos(x-45°) = (sqrt(2)/2) x (cos(x) + sin(x))

that is

cos(x) + sin(x) = sqrt(2) x cos(x - 45°)
