3. (a) Given that \(y = \ln x\),
  1. find an expression for \(\ln \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { \mathrm { e } }\) in terms of \(y\),
  2. show that \(\log _ { 2 } x = \frac { y } { \ln 2 }\).
    (b) Hence, or otherwise, solve the equation $$\log _ { 2 } x = 4 - \ln \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { \mathrm { e } } ,$$ giving your answer to 2 decimal places.
