Write order and degree (if defined) of the differential equation :d2y/dx2 + 5x (dy/dx)2 - 6y = log x

Answer»

Since the highest order derivative present in the given differential equation is \(\cfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) . So, its order is 2. It is a polynomial equation in \(\cfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) and \(\cfrac{dy}{dx}\) . The highest power of the highest order derivative \(\cfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) in the differential equation is 1. So, its degree is 3.

Hence, the order and the degree of the differential equation \(\cfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) + 5x ( \(\cfrac{dy}{dx}\))2 − 6y = log x is 2  and 1, respectively.
