1. Given that \(3x\sin 2x\) is a particular integral of the differential equation \[\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} + 4y = k\cos 2x, \qquad \text{where } k \text{ is a constant,}\]

(a) calculate the value of \(k\), (4)
(b) find the particular solution of the differential equation for which at \(x = 0\), \(y = 2\), and for which at \(x = \dfrac{\pi}{4}\), \(y = \dfrac{\pi}{2}\). (4)
