Determine order and degree (if defined) of differential equations:
open parentheses fraction numerator straight d squared straight y over denominator dx squared end fraction close parentheses squared plus cos open parentheses dy over dx close parentheses space equals space 0



Solution

The given differential equation is
open parentheses fraction numerator straight d squared straight y over denominator dx squared end fraction close parentheses squared plus cos open parentheses dy over dx close parentheses space equals space 0
The highest order derivative present in the given differential equation is fraction numerator straight d squared straight y over denominator dx squared end fraction. therefore, its order is 2. Since the given differential equation is not a polynomial in dy over dx. therefore, its degree is not defined.
