Differential Equations

Question:

In which of the following differential equations is the degree equal to its order?

Options:

$x^3 \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) - \frac{d^3y}{dx^3} = 0$

$\left(\frac{d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^3 + \sin\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) = 0$

$x^2 \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^4 + \sin y - \left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^2 = 0$

$\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^3 + x \left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right) - y^3 \left(\frac{d^3y}{dx^3}\right) + y = 0$

Correct Answer:

$x^2 \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^4 + \sin y - \left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^2 = 0$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $x^2 \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^4 + \sin y - \left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^2 = 0$ ##

The order and degree of the differential equation $x^3 \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) - \frac{d^3y}{dx^3} = 0$ is 3 and 1.

The order and degree of the differential equation $\left(\frac{d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^3 + \sin\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) = 0$ is 3 and not defined.

The degree of above differential equation is not defined because when we expand $\sin\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)$ we get an infinite series in the increasing powers of $\frac{dy}{dx}$. Therefore, its degree is not defined.

The order and degree of the differential equation $x^2 \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^4 + \sin y - \left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^2 = 0$ is 2 and 2.

The order and degree of the differential equation $\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^3 + x \left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right) - y^3 \left(\frac{d^3y}{dx^3}\right) + y = 0$ is 3 and 1.
