Summary:
In this paper we investigate the asymptotic properties of all solutions of the delay differential equation y'(x)=a(x)y(\tau(x))+b(x)y(x),\qquad x\in I=[x_0,\infty). We set up conditions under which every solution of this equation can be represented in terms of a solution of the differential equation z'(x)=b(x)z(x),\qquad x\in I and a solution of the functional equation |a(x)|\varphi(\tau(x))=|b(x)|\varphi(x),\qquad x\in I.
