When is the degree of a differential equation defined?
AWhen it has no independent variable
BWhen its order is exactly one
CWhen all coefficients are constant
DWhen it is polynomial in derivatives
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. When it is polynomial in derivatives
Degree is the power of the highest derivative, which only makes sense once the equation is polynomial in derivatives.
