Question

The degree of an equation is determined by: A.) Highest power of lowest derivative B.) Highest power of highest derivative C.) Lowest power of highest derivative uestion

Answer 1

Answer:

B)highest power of highest derivative

Explanation:

The degree of an equation can be determine by highest power of highest derivative.

Lets take following equation

$3\left (\dfrac{d^4y}{dx^4} \right )^5+\left (\dfrac{d^3y}{dx^3} \right )^2+8\left (\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right )-6y=0$

Above equation is a differential equation.So the degree of equation is 5 and the order of the equation is 4.

So our option B(highest power of highest derivative) is right.
