In the last few years, the oscillatory behavior of functional differential equations has been investigated by many authors. But much less is known about the first-order functional differential equations. Recently, Tomaras (1975b) considered the functional differential equation and gave very interesting results on this problem, namely the sufficient conditions for its solutions to oscillate. The purpose of this paper is to extend and improve them, by examining the more general functional differential equation
