3.

(a) Determine the general solution of the differential equation\[\cos x\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} + y\sin x = \mathrm{e}^{2x}\cos^2 x\]giving your answer in the form \(y = \mathrm{f}(x)\) (3)

Given that \(y = 3\) when \(x = 0\)

(b) determine the smallest positive value of \(x\) for which \(y = 0\) (3)
