Write the order of the differential equation of the family of circles touching X-axis at the origin.
Answer
The equation of the famliy of circles touching x-axis at the origin is
$(\text{x}-0)^{2}+(\text{y}-\text{a})^{2}=\text{a}^{2}$
$\text{x}^{2}+\text{y}^{2}-2\text{ay}=0\ ...(\text{i})$
Here, a is the parameter.
Since, this equation contain only one conatant, we differentiate it only once.
$2\text{x}+2\text{y}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-2\text{a}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=0$
$\text{a}=\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}})}{\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}}\ ...(\text{ii})$
Putting the value of a from (i) in (i), we get
$\text{x}^{2}+\text{y}^{2}=2\text{y}\left\{\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}})}{\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}}\right\}$
$(\text{x}^{2}+\text{y}^{2})\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=2\text{xy}$

The order of the differential equation is 2 and its degree is not defined.
It is a non-linear differential equation, as one of its differential co-efficients, that is, $\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)$ has exponent 2, which is more than 1.

Determine the order and degree of the following differential equations. state also whether they are linear or non linear.
$\text{x}^2\Big(\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}}\Big)^3+\text{y}\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)^4+\text{y}^4=0$
Answer$\text{x}^2\Big(\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}}\Big)^3+\text{y}\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)^4+\text{y}^4=0$ In this differential equation, the order of the highest order derivative is 2 and its power is 3. So, it is a differential equation of order 2 and degree 3.
It is a non linear differential equation, as its degree is more than 1.

Determine the order and degree of the following differential equations. state also whether they are linear or non linear.
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\text{e}^\text{y}=0$
Answer$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\text{e}^\text{y}=0$ In this differential equation, the order of the highest order derivative is 1 and its power is 1. So, it is a differential equation of order 1 and degree 1.
It is a non-linear differential equation, as the exponent of the dependent variable is not equal to 1(as per expansion series series of ey.
