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

B)highest power of highest derivative

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Lets take following equation

`3\left ((d^4y)/(dx^4) \right )^5+\left ((d^3y)/(dx^3) \right )^2+8\left ((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.
