$$\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } } + 4 y - \sin x = 0$$
Given that \(y = \frac { 1 } { 2 }\) and \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \frac { 1 } { 8 }\) at \(x = 0\), find a series expansion for \(y\) in terms of \(x\), up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 3 }\).
