  1. Find the values of the constants \(p\) and \(q\) for which \(p + q x \mathrm { e } ^ { - 2 x }\) is a particular integral of the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } } + \frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } - 2 y = 4 - 9 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 2 x }$$
  2. Hence find the general solution of this differential equation.
  3. Hence express \(y\) in terms of \(x\), given that \(y = 4\) when \(x = 0\) and that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } \rightarrow 0\) as \(x \rightarrow \infty\).
