  1. Find the general solution of the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } } + 6 \frac { \mathrm {~d} y } { \mathrm {~d} x } + 9 y = 36 \sin 3 x$$
  2. It is given that \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) is the solution of the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } } + 6 \frac { \mathrm {~d} y } { \mathrm {~d} x } + 9 y = 36 \sin 3 x$$ such that \(\mathrm { f } ( 0 ) = 0\) and \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0\).
    1. Show that \(f ^ { \prime \prime } ( 0 ) = 0\).
    2. Find the first two non-zero terms in the expansion, in ascending powers of \(x\), of \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\).
