The function \(\mathrm{f}\) is defined by

\({\mathrm{f}(x) = \begin{cases} x-4 & \mathrm{for } \quad\quad\quad x \leq 1 \\ \cos x & \mathrm{for } \quad 1 < x \leq \pi \end{cases}}\)

    1. Show that \(\mathrm{f}\) has an inverse.[3]
    2. Find \({{\mathrm{f}}^{-1}}\).[3]
    3. Evaluate \({{\mathrm{f}}^{2}}\left( \frac{\pi }{2} \right)\) and find \({{\mathrm{f}}^{2}}\).[4]
    4. Find \({{\mathrm{f}}^{2022}}\left( 0 \right)\).[2]
