7 Find the value of the constant \(\lambda\) such that \(\lambda x \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }\) is a particular integral of the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } } + 5 \frac { \mathrm {~d} y } { \mathrm {~d} x } + 4 y = 6 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }$$ Find the solution of the differential equation for which \(y = 2\) and \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 3\) when \(x = 0\).
