Pick the TRUE statement1. \(\rm x{dy\over dx} + {d^2y\over dx^2} = y\) is linear differential equation of order 22. \(\rm x{dy\over dx} + {d^2y\over dx^2} = y\) is non linear differential equation of order 23. \(\rm x{dy\over dx} + {d^2y\over dx^2} = y\) is non linear differential equation of degree 24. \(\rm x{dy\over dx} + {d^2y\over dx^2} = y\) is linear differential equation of degree 1

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : \(\rm x{dy\over dx} + {d^2y\over dx^2} = y\) is non linear differential equation of order 2

Concept:

The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative appearing in it.

The degree of a differential equation is the degree of the highest derivative occurring in it, after the equation has been expressed in a form free from radicals as far as the derivatives are concerned.

A differential equation is said to be linear when

  • Dependent variable and its derivative should have power ‘1’.
  • Dependent variable and its derivatives can have the product with the independent variable.
  • Dependent variable and its derivatives can’t have the product.


Calculation:

Given the differential equation is

\(\rm x{dy\over dx} + {d^2y\over dx^2} = y\)

Here x is the independent variable

y is the dependent variable

Highest derivate is \(\rm {d^2y\over dx^2}\) dydxdydx

So, the order of the given differential equation = 2

The power of the highest derivate = 1

So, the degree of the given differential equation = 1

As the multiplication of dependent variable derivative with the independent variable, so non-linear
