Answer:
1/2
Explanation:
You want to know the frequency of the function f(x) = 3cos(πx) -2.
Frequency
For frequency f, the basic function (before vertical scaling or translation) will be written ...
f(x) = cos(2πfx)
That is, we can find the frequency by comparing the arguments of the cosine function:
πx = 2πfx
f = (πx)/(2πx) = 1/2
The frequency of the function is 1/2.

Additional comment
You will notice in the attached graph that there is 1/2 period in 1 horizontal unit. A full period takes 2 horizontal units, so the frequency is ...
(1 period)/(2 units) = 1/2 periods/unit.
