The order of the differential equation d d x [ ( d y d x )^3 ]=0 is
Options
- A2
- B3
- C1
- Dnot defined
Correct answer
A. 2
Step-by-step solution
The given differential equation is d dx [ ( dy dx )^3 ] = 0 . Applying the chain rule to the derivative, we have 3 ( dy dx )^2 d^2y dx^2 = 0 . The order of a differential equation is defined as the order of the highest derivative present in the equation. In this equation, the highest derivative is d^2y dx^2 , which is a second-order derivative. Therefore, the order of the differential equation is 2 . Answer: 2
