Differential Equations Question 215

Question: The order and degree of the differential equation $ {{( 1+3\frac{dy}{dx} )}^{\frac{2}{3}}}=4\frac{d^{3}y}{dx^{3}} $ are

[AIEEE 2002]

Options:

A) $ 1,\frac{2}{3} $

B) 3, 1

C) 3, 3

D) 1, 2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

To check, order and degree, the given differential equation should be free from radicals, hence taking cube on both sides, $ {{( 1+3.\frac{dy}{dx} )}^{2}}={{( 4.\frac{d^{3}y}{dx^{3}} )}^{3}} $

Clearly, order = 3, degree = 3.
