Question:

Determine the order and degree (if defined) of the differential equation d4y/dx4 +sin (y''') =0

Options:

order =1, degree=4

order =4, degree=4

order =4, degree=3

order =4, degree=not defined

Correct Answer:

order =4, degree=not defined

Explanation:

The highest order derivative present in the equation id y''''. Therefore its order is 4.

The given differentia equation is not a polynomial equation in its derivative. Hence. its degree is not defined.
