1. Expand the logarithmic term and differentiate the equation implicitly with respect to $x$.
Differentiating with respect to :
2. Substitute the given point $(1, 1)$ into the derivative equation to find $\frac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}$.
Substitute and :
3. Differentiate the first derivative equation implicitly with respect to $x$ to find an expression involving $\frac{\text{d}^2y}{\text{d}x^2}$.
From , differentiate both sides with respect to using the product rule on the last term:
4. Substitute $x = 1$, $y = 1$, and $\frac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x} = -4$ into the second derivative equation to find $\frac{\text{d}^2y}{\text{d}x^2}$.
