8.

(a) Find the value of \(\lambda\) for which \(y = \lambda x\sin 5x\) is a particular integral of the differential equation \[\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} + 25y = 3\cos 5x\] (4)
(b) Using your answer to part (a), find the general solution of the differential equation \[\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} + 25y = 3\cos 5x\] (3)

Given that at \(x = 0\), \(y = 0\) and \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 5\),

(c) find the particular solution of this differential equation, giving your solution in the form \(y = \mathrm{f}(x)\). (5)
(d) Sketch the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm{f}(x)\) for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant \pi\). (2)
