Homework Statement
Consider the ode:
which admits the solution which admits the solution

I am interested in 1. Any-non obvious substitution that simplifies the equation further. 2. Possible generalisations to other logarithmic / exponential bases. 3 Asymptotic behavior of solutions.
Relevant Equations
variable separable.
##10^y dy = \dfrac{dx}{x\ln 10}##
##\int 10^y dy = \int \dfrac{dx}{x\ln 10}##

...

##10^y = \ln x +C##
##10^y = \ln (ax)##
##y=\lg(\ln(ax))##

$$\ln 10 e^{y\ln 10 }dy = \frac{dx}{x}$$
$$e^{y\ln 10 } = \ln |x |+ C$$
$$y= \frac{\ln(\ln |x| + C)}{\ln 10}$$defined for
$$|x| >e^{-C}$$

x,C < 0 cases are added to your result.

Relevant Equations: variable separable.
The substitution ## y_1=10^y ## simplifies the equation $$ 10^ydy=\frac{dx}{x\ln10} $$ to the equation ## dy_1=dx/x ##.
The general case can be obtained by replacing ## 10 ## in the substitution ## y_1=10^y ## with ## b ##, where ## b\gt0 ## and ## b\neq1 ##, while the equation ## dy_1=dx/x ## remains unchanged.
