The number of arbitrary constants in the general solution of a differential equation with degree 1 and order 3, is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 3
The general solution of a differential equation of order n contains exactly n arbitrary constants. The degree plays no part in this.
Here the order is 3, so the general solution has 3 arbitrary constants.
