Which kind of equation has a function, not a number, as its solution?
ALinear equation in x
BQuadratic equation
CSimultaneous equations
DDifferential equation
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Differential equation
Substituting a number cannot satisfy an equation containing derivatives; a function must be found that makes both sides equal.
