MCQ
The degree of the differential equation:
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}+3\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)^2=\text{x}^2\log\Big(\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}\Big)$
  • A
    1
  • B
    2
  • C
    3
  • Not defined

Answer

Correct option: D.
Not defined
Concept:
Order: The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative appearing in it.

Degree: The degree of a differential equation is the power of the highest derivative occurring in it, after the Equation has been expressed in a form free from radicals as far as the derivatives are concerned.

Calculation:

$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}+3\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)^2=\text{x}^2\log\Big(\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}\Big)$

For the given differential equation the highest order derivative is 2.

The given differential equation is not a polynomial equation because it involved a logarithmic term in its derivatives hence its degree is not defined.
