alleryOrder of differential equation:
ADegree
BTotal of x
CHighest derivative present
DCoefficient of y
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Highest derivative present
Order = highest derivative. dy/dx = x is 1st order.
d²y/dx² + y = 0 is 2nd order.
Order determines how many constants in general solution.
