5. (a) Given that \(t = \log _ { 3 } x\),
  1. write down an expression in terms of \(t\) for \(\log _ { 3 } x ^ { 2 }\),
  2. show that \(\log _ { 9 } x = \frac { 1 } { 2 } t\).
    (b) Hence, or otherwise, find to 3 significant figures the value of \(x\) such that $$\log _ { 3 } x ^ { 2 } - \log _ { 9 } x = 4$$
