Question
Determine the order and degree of the following differential equations. state also whether they are linear or non linear.
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}+5\text{x}\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)-6\text{y}=\log\text{x}$

Answer

$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}+5\text{x}\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)-6\text{y}=\log\text{x}$

The highest order differential coefficient is $\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}$ and its power is 1.

So, it is non linear differential equation with order 2 and degree 1.
