$\Rightarrow e^{\log x^x}+e^{\log y^x}=1\left\{\text { As } e^{Log a}=a\right\}$
$\Rightarrow e^{x \log x}+e^{x \log y}=1$
Differentiating with respect to x using chain rule,
$\frac{d}{d x}\left(e^{x \log x}\right)+\frac{d}{d x}\left(e^{x \log y}\right)=\frac{d}{d x}(1)$
$\Rightarrow e^{x \log x} \frac{d}{d x}(x \log x)+e^{x \log y} \frac{d}{d x}(x \log y)=0$
$\Rightarrow e^{x \log x}\left[x \frac{d}{d x}(\log x)+\log x \frac{d}{d x}(x)\right] e^{x \log x}+e^{\log y^x}\left[x \frac{d}{d x}(\log y)+\log y \frac{d}{d x}(x)\right]=0$
$\Rightarrow x^{x}\left[x\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)+\log x(1)\right]+y^{x}\left[x\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \frac{d y}{d x}+\log y(1)\right]=0$
$\Rightarrow x^{x}[1+\log x]+y^{x}\left(\frac{d y}{d x}+\log y\right)=0$
$\Rightarrow y^x \times \frac{x}{y} \frac{d y}{d x}=-\left[x^{x}(1+\log x)+y^{x} \log y\right]$
$\Rightarrow\left(xy^{x-1}\right) \frac{d y}{d x}=-\left[x^{x}(1+\log x)+y^{x} \log y\right]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=-\left[\frac{x^x(1+\log x)+y^x \log y}{x y^{x-1}}\right]$
$\text{LHS = RHS}$
$\Rightarrow e^{\log x^x}+e^{\log y^x}=1\left\{\text { As } e^{Log a}=a\right\}$
$\Rightarrow e^{x \log x}+e^{x \log y}=1$
Differentiating with respect to x using chain rule,
$\frac{d}{d x}\left(e^{x \log x}\right)+\frac{d}{d x}\left(e^{x \log y}\right)=\frac{d}{d x}(1)$

$\Rightarrow x^{x}[1+\log x]+y^{x}\left(\frac{d y}{d x}+\log y\right)=0$
$\Rightarrow y^x \times \frac{x}{y} \frac{d y}{d x}=-\left[x^{x}(1+\log x)+y^{x} \log y\right]$
$\Rightarrow\left(xy^{x-1}\right) \frac{d y}{d x}=-\left[x^{x}(1+\log x)+y^{x} \log y\right]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=-\left[\frac{x^x(1+\log x)+y^x \log y}{x y^{x-1}}\right]$
$\text{LHS = RHS}$
Hence Proved.
