Solution:  Given, y^x = e^{y-x}

Taking logrithm both sides, we get log

\log y^x = \log e^{y-x}

\Rightarrow x.\log y = (y-x)\log e

\Rightarrow x.\log y = (y-x)

\Rightarrow x.\log y + x = y

\Rightarrow x(\log y + 1) = y

\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{y}{1+ \log y}

Differentiating both sides with respect to y, we get

\Rightarrow \dfrac{d x}{dy} = \dfrac{(1 + \log y)\frac{d}{dy}.y-y.\frac{d}{dy}(1+ \log y)}{(1+ \log y)^2}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{d x}{dy} = \dfrac{(1+\log y).1 - y.(0+\frac{1}{y})}{(1+ \log y)^2}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{d x}{dy} = \dfrac{1 + \log y - 1}{(1+ \log y)^2}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{d x}{dy} = \dfrac{\log y}{(1+ \log y)^2}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{d y}{dx} = \dfrac{(1+ \log y)^2}{\log y}
