Exercise 9.1

Determine order and degree (if defined) of differential equation given in Q. 1 to 18.

$$\textbf{1.\space}\frac{\textbf{d}^{\textbf{4}}\textbf{y}}{\textbf{dx}^{\textbf{4}}} \textbf{+ sin}\textbf{(y"") = 0}\\\textbf{Sol.\space}\frac{d^{4}y}{dx^{4}} + \text{sin (y"")}=0\\\Rarr\space y"" + \text{sin(y"")}=0$$

The highest order derivative which occurs in the given differential equation is y'''', therefore, its order is 4.

As the given differential equation is not a polynomial equation in

$$\frac{dy}{dx}\space(i.e., y')\space\text{therefore, its degree}\\\text{is not defined.}$$

2. y' + 5y = 0.

Sol. The highest order derivative which occurs in the given differential equation is y' and index of highest power is one, therefore, the given differential equation is of order 1 and degree 1.

$$\textbf{3.\space}\bigg(\frac{\textbf{ds}}{\textbf{dt}}\bigg)^{\textbf{4}}\textbf{+ 3s}\frac{\textbf{d}^{\textbf{2}}\textbf{s}}{\textbf{dt}^{\textbf{2}}}\textbf{= 0.}$$

Sol. The highest order derivative present in the given differential equation is d2s/dt2. Therefore, the index of its highest power is one, hence the given differential equation is of order 2 and degree 1.

$$\textbf{4.\space}\bigg(\frac{\textbf{d}^{\textbf{2}}\textbf{y}}{\textbf{dx}^{\textbf{2}}}\bigg)^{\textbf{2}} \textbf{+ cos}\bigg(\frac{\textbf{dy}}{\textbf{dx}}\bigg)\textbf{= 0.}$$

Sol. The highest order derivative present in the given differential equation is

$$\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}},\space\text{therefore, its order is 2.}$$

But the given differential equation is not a polynomial equation in dy/dx. Hence, its degree is not defined.

$$\textbf{5.\space}\frac{\textbf{d}^{\textbf{2}}\textbf{y}}{\textbf{dx}^{\textbf{2}}}\textbf{= cos 3x + sin 3x.} $$

Sol. The highest order derivative which occurs in the given differential equation is

$$\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}.\space\text{Therefore, its order is two.}\\\text{It is a polynomial equation in}\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}\\\text{and the power raised to}\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}\space\text{is 1.}$$

Hence, its degree is one.

6. (y''')2 + (y'')3 + (y')4 + y5 = 0.

Sol. The highest order derivative which occurs in the given differential equation is y'''. Therefore, its order is three. The given differential equation is a polynomial equation in y''', y'' and y'.

The highest power raised to y''' is 2. Hence, its degree is 2.

7. y''' + 2y'' + y' = 0.

Sol. The highest order derivative which occurs in the given differential equation is y'''. Therefore, its order is three. It is a polynomial equation in y''', y'' and y'. The highest power raised to y''' is 1. Hence, its degree is 1.

8. y' + y = ex.

Sol. The highest order derivative present in the given differential equation is y'. Therefore, its order is one. The given differential equation is a polynomial equation in y'. The highest power raised to y' is 1. Hence, its degree is 1.

9. y'' + (y')2 + 2y = 0.

Sol. The highest order derivative, present in the given differential equation is y''. Therefore, its order is two. The given differential equation is a polynomial equation in y'' and y' and the highest power raised to y'' is 1. Hence its degree is 1.

10. y'' + 2y' + sin y = 0.

Sol. The highest order derivative, present in the differential equation is y''. Therefore, its order is two.

This is a polynomial equation in y'' and y' and the highest power raised to y'' is one. Hence, its degree is one.

11. The degree of the differential equation

$$\bigg(\frac{\textbf{d}^{\textbf{2}}\textbf{y}}{\textbf{dx}^{\textbf{2}}}\bigg) \textbf{+} \bigg(\frac{\textbf{dy}}{\textbf{dx}}\bigg)^{2} \textbf{+ sin}\bigg(\frac{\textbf{dy}}{\textbf{dx}}\bigg)\textbf{+1}\textbf{= 0}\space\textbf{is :}$$

(a) 3 (b) 2 (c) 1 (d) None of these

Sol. (d) None of these

The given differential equation is not a polynomial equation in

$$\frac{dy}{dx}.\space\text{Therefore, its degree}\\\text{is not defined.}$$

12. The order of the differential equation

$$\textbf{2x}^{\textbf{2}}\frac{\textbf{d}^{\textbf{2}}\textbf{y}}{\textbf{dx}^{\textbf{2}}}\textbf{\space - 3 }\frac{\textbf{dy}}{\textbf{dx+ y =0}} \space\textbf{is :}$$

(a) 2

(b) 1

(c) zero

(d) None of these

Sol. (a) 2

The highest order derivative present in the given differential equation is

$$\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}.\space\text{Therefore, its order is two.}$$
