Question
Determine order and degree (if defined) of differential equations given in Exercise.
$\bigg(\frac{\text{d}^{2}\text{y}}{\text{dx}^{2}}\bigg)^{2}+\cos\bigg(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\bigg)=0$

Answer

The given differential equation is
$\bigg(\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}\bigg)^2 + \text{cos} \bigg(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\bigg) = 0$
The highest order derivative present in the given differential equation is $\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}.$ therefore, its order is 2.
Since the given differential equation is not a polynomail $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}.$ therefore, its degree is not defined.
