The function \(\mathrm{f}\) is defined by \(\mathrm{f}(x)=2\sin4x+\cos6x\) for \(x\in\mathbb{R}\).

  1. Determine the exact period of \(\mathrm{f}\).[2]
  2. Find the greatest value of \(\mathrm{f}(x)\).[1]
  3. Solve the equation \(\mathrm{f}(x)=1\), giving every solution in the interval \(0\le x\le\pi\).[3]
