Explanation:

$\begin{align*}&\text{In asking for H, the question asks for the Hessian.}\\&\text{The Hessian of a function is a matrix of second derivatives taken with}\\&\text{respect to its constituent variables. The form is as follows:}\\&\begin{bmatrix}\frac{d^2f}{d_{x_1}^2}&...&\frac{d^2f}{d_{x_1}d_{x_n}}\\...&...&...\\\frac{d^2f}{d_{x_n}d_{x_1}}&...&\frac{d^2f}{d_{x_n}^2}\end{bmatrix}\\&\text{Considering our function: }f(x,y)=-7cos(3y)ln(4x)\\&\text{And utilizing derivative rules:}\\&(f\circ g )'=(f'\circ g )\cdot g'\\&d[ln(u)]=\frac{du}{u}\\&d[cos(u)]=-sin(u)du\\&Hf=\begin{bmatrix}\frac{(7cos(3y))}{x^{2}}&\frac{(21sin(3y))}{x}\\\frac{(21sin(3y))}{x}&63cos(3y)ln(4x)\end{bmatrix}\end{align*}$
