What does the least value of f(x)=5-2cos(x) mean?
Thanks

f(x)=5-2cos(x)
Least value simply means Least value! (Look up a dictionary)
If you mean minimum, that's a different matter.
If you want to know WHAT is the least value in this case:
Cos x has a greatest value = 1
Hence Least value of f(x) = 5 - 2 = 3
