(i) Given that \(\int_1^a \frac{\ln x}{x^2} \, dx = \frac{2}{5}\), show that \(a = \frac{5}{3}(1 + \ln a)\).

(ii) Use an iteration formula based on the equation \(a = \frac{5}{3}(1 + \ln a)\) to find the value of \(a\) correct to 2 decimal places. Use an initial value of 4 and give the result of each iteration to 4 decimal places.
