12 The function \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \cosh ( \mathrm { i } x )\) is defined over the domain \(\{ x \in \mathbb { R } : - a \pi \leq x \leq a \pi \}\), where \(a\) is a positive integer.
By considering the graph of \(y = [ f ( x ) ] ^ { n }\), find the mean value of \([ f ( x ) ] ^ { n }\), when \(n\) is an odd positive integer.
Fully justify your answer.
