As we learnt

Maximum and minimum values -

Max. value = \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}

Min. value = -\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}

- wherein

The maximum and minimum value of a\cos \Theta + b\sin \Theta

 

 \cos x + \sqrt{3 \sin x}=5

min value of 

\cos x + \sqrt{3 \sin x} is - \sqrt{1+3}=-\sqrt{4}=-2

& max value is 2

So  -2 \leq \sqrt{3} \sin x+ \cos x \leq 2
