5cosθ + 3cos(θ+π/3) + 3 = 5cosθ + 3(cosθcosπ/3 – sinθsinπ/3) + 3
= 5cosθ + 3*cosθ*1/2 – 3*sinθ*sqrt(3/2) + 3
= 13/2*cosθ  – 3sqrt(3/2)*sinθ + 3
The range of acosθ + bsinθ + c is c ± sqrt (a2 + b2)
Hence the range of the given function is 3± sqrt [(13/2)2 + (3sqrt3/2)2]
= – 4  & 10
Hence the given function lies between – 4 and 10
