For y'' + sin(y') = 0, which statement about order and degree is correct?
AOrder 2, degree one
BOrder 2, degree two
COrder 1, degree undefined
DOrder 2, degree undefined
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Order 2, degree undefined
The equation is not a polynomial in its derivatives because of sin(y'), so the degree is undefined, while the order is 2.
