It is given that y=A(10bx)y = A(10^{bx}), where AA and bb are constants. The straight line graph obtained when lgy\lg y is plotted against xx passes through the points (0.5,2.2)(0.5, 2.2) and (1.0,3.7)(1.0, 3.7).
(i)
Find the value of AA and of bb.

(ii)
Find the value of yy when x=0.6x = 0.6.
[2]
(iii)
Find the value of xx when y=600y = 600.
