It is given that \(f(x)=2-x\).

  1. On separate diagrams, sketch the graphs of \(y=f(|x|)\) and \(y=|f(x)|\), giving the coordinates of any points where the graphs meet the \(x\)- and \(y\)-axes. You should label the graphs clearly.[3]
  2. State the set of values of \(x\) for which \(f(|x|)=|f(x)|\).[1]
  3. Find the exact value of the constant \(a\) for which \(\displaystyle\int_{-1}^1 f(|x|)\,\mathrm dx=\int_1^a|f(x)|\,\mathrm dx\).[3]
