Question:

The order and degree of the differential equation y'+5y =0 is-

Options:

order =1, degree 1

order =1, degree 2

order =2, degree 1

none of these

Correct Answer:

order =1, degree 1

Explanation:

The highest order derivative present in the equation is y'. Therefore its order is 1.

The given differential equation is a polynomial equation in y'. The highest power raised to y' is 1. Hence, Its degree is 1.
