a) 4
b) 1
c) 3
d) 2
View Answer
Explanation: The highest order derivative in the given differential equation is \(\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2}\). Therefore, the order of the differential equation is 2.
5. Find the degree of the differential equation \(3(\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2})-(\frac{dy}{dx})^2\)+siny=0.
a) 1
b) 3
c) 2
d) Not defined
View Answer
Explanation: In the polynomial differential equation \(3(\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2})-(\frac{dy}{dx})^2\)+siny=0, the power raised to the highest derivative \(\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2}\) is 1. Therefore, the degree of the differential equation is 1.
6. Find the order and degree of the differential equation 3y”-y’-ey=0
a) Order – 2, Degree – Not defined
b) Order – 1, Degree – 1
c) Order – 1, Degree – Not defined
d) Order – 3, Degree – 3
View Answer
Explanation: In the differential equation 3y”-y’-ey=0, the highest order derivative is y”. Therefore, the order is 2. The D.E is not polynomial, so the degree of the differential equation is not defined.
7. The degree of the differential equation is not defined if it is not polynomial.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The given statement is true. The degree of a differential equation is defined only when the differential equation is a polynomial in its derivatives. The degree of a D.E will not be defined if it is not polynomial.
8. Find the degree of the D.E y’-10y=0.
a) 1
b) 2
c) 4
d) 3
View Answer
Explanation: The given differential equation is polynomial in y’. Therefore, the degree of the equation will be the power raised to the highest derivative y’ i.e. 1.
9. Find the order of the differential \(\left (\frac{d^2 y}{dx^3}\right )^3+5\) cosx-sinx=0
a) 3
b) 2
c) 1
d) 4
View Answer
Explanation: In the differential equation \(\left (\frac{d^2 y}{dx^3}\right )^3+5\) cosx-sinx=0, the highest order derivative is \(\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2}\). Therefore, the order of the differential equation is 2.
