3. The position vector \(\mathbf { r }\) of a particle \(P\) at time \(t\) satisfies the vector differential equation
$$\frac { \mathrm { d } \mathbf { r } } { \mathrm {~d} t } + 2 \mathbf { r } = 4 \mathbf { i }$$
Given that the position vector of \(P\) at time \(t = 0\) is \(2 \mathbf { j }\), find the position vector of \(P\) at time \(t\).
