Find the order and degree of the following differential equations:(i) dy/dx + y = x2(ii) y’ + y2 + y3 = 0(iii) y’' + 3y'2 + y3 = 0(iv) (d2y/dx2) + x = √(y + (dy/dx)) (v) (d2y/dx2) - y + ((dy/dx) + (d3y/dx3))3/2 = 0 |
|
Answer» (i) Order = 1, Degree = 1 [Here, we have (dy/dx)'] (ii) Order = 1, Degree = 1 [We have (dy/dx)'] (iii) We have (d2y/dx2)'; So, order = 2; Degree = 1 (iv) Squaring both sides, [(d2y/dx2) + x]2 = y + (dy/dx) We have (d2y/dx2)2 ∴ Order = 2 Degree = 2 (v) Squaring both sides, we get ((d2y/dx2) - y)2 = ((dy/dx) + (d3y/dx3))3 = 0 We have (d3y/dx3)3 Order = 3; Degree = 3 |
