Differential Equations Question 277

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

Options:

A) 2, 2

B) 3, 3

C) 2, 3

D) 3, 2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Here power on the differential coefficient is fractional, therefore change it into positive integer, so $ {{[ 4+{{( \frac{dy}{dx} )}^{2}} ]}^{2/3}}=\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} $

Therefore $ {{[ 4+{{( \frac{dy}{dx} )}^{2}} ]}^{2}}={{[ \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} ]}^{3}} $

Hence order is 2 and degree is 3.
