2. The curve \(C\) has equation
$$3 ^ { x - 1 } + x y - y ^ { 2 } + 5 = 0$$
Show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\) at the point \(( 1,3 )\) on the curve \(C\) can be written in the form \(\frac { 1 } { \lambda } \ln \left( \mu \mathrm { e } ^ { 3 } \right)\), where \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) are integers to be found.
