(a) Without using calculator or tables, find the value of \(\log 3.6\) given that \(\log 2 = 0.3010, \log 3 = 0.4771\) and \(\log 5 = 0.6990\).
(b) If all numbers in the equation \(\frac{y}{y + 101} = \frac{11}{10010}\) are in base two, solve for y.
(a) Solve the inequality : \(\frac{2}{5}(x - 2) - \frac{1}{6}(x + 5) \leq 0\).
(b) Given that P = \(\frac{x^{2} - y^{2}}{x^{2} + xy}\),
(i) express P in its simplest form ; (ii) find the value of P if x = -4 and y = -6.
