The function \(\mathrm{f}\) is defined by \(\mathrm{f}(x)=\cos2x+2\sin3x\) for \(0<x<4\pi\).

  1. Using the grid provided, draw a sketch of the curve \(y=\mathrm{f}(x)\).[2]
  2. Write down the period of \(\mathrm{f}\) as an exact multiple of \(\pi\).[2]
  3. Find the greatest value taken by \(\mathrm{f}(x)\) in this interval.[2]
