Split an absolute integral at the sign change

The curve CC is y=xcos⁡2xy=x\cos2x, 0≤x≤π0\le x\le\pi.

(i) Find its exact x-axis intercepts. marks

(ii) Sketch CC, stating all x- and y-axis intercept coordinates. marks

(iii) Find the exact value of ∫π/4π∣xcos⁡2x∣ dx\int_{\pi/4}^\pi|x\cos2x|\,dx. marks

(iv) Find the volume when the region bounded by CC, the x-axis and x=πx=\pi rotates completely about the x-axis. marks
