Question

Find the order and degree of the following differential equation 2(d^2y/dx^2)-3*(dy/dx)+y=0

Answer 1

$2(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2})-3(\frac{dy}{dx})+y=0$

Highest order derivative=$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$

So order of the differential equation = 2

The highest order derivative is raised to power 1

So, the degree of the differential equation = 1
