Given y=log⁡x+log⁡x+log⁡x+⋯∞y=\sqrt{\log x+\sqrt{\log x+\sqrt{\log x+\cdots\infty}}}.

Step 1 — use self-similarity:

y=log⁡x+yy=\sqrt{\log x+y}

Step 2 — square both sides:

y2=log⁡x+yy^2=\log x+y

Step 3 — differentiate implicitly:

2ydydx=1x+dydx2y\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac1x+\frac{dy}{dx}

Step 4 — collect dy/dxdy/dx terms: …
