  1. It is given that \(\,\mathrm{f}(x)=\frac{1}{x-1}\).
    1. On separate diagrams, sketch the graphs of \(y=\mathrm{f}\left( \left| x \right| \right)\) and \(y=\left| \mathrm{f}\left( x \right) \right|\). [2]
    2. Without the use of graphing calculator, find the exact value of the constant \(a\), where \(0<a<1\), for which \(\left| \displaystyle\int_{\text{}\hspace{0.5em}-\frac{1}{2}\ }^{\text{}\hspace{0.5em}\frac{1}{2}}{\text{f (}\left| x \right|)\ \mathrm{d}x} \right|=\displaystyle\int_{\text{}\hspace{0.5em}0\ }^{\text{}\hspace{0.5em}a}{\left| \text{f (}x) \right|\ \mathrm{d}x}\).
