Differential Equations Question 231

Question: The degree of the differential equation $ y(x)=1+\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{1}{1.2}{{( \frac{dy}{dx} )}^{2}}+\frac{1}{1.2.3}{{( \frac{dy}{dx} )}^{3}}+… $ is

[Orissa JEE 2005]

Options:

A) 2

B) 3

C) 1

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ y=1+t+\frac{t^{2}}{2!}+\frac{t^{3}}{3!}+…+\infty $ where $ t=\frac{dy}{dx} $

Therefore $ y=e^{t} $ , \ $ t=\log y $

Therefore $ \frac{dy}{dx}=\log y $ . Hence degree is 1.
