Determine the order and degree of dy/dx=sqrt(1+d2y/dx2).
- Order 2, degree 2
- Order 1, degree 2
- Order 1, degree 1
- Order 2, degree 1
Answer
D. Order 2, degree 1
Solution
Squaring to clear the radical gives ≤ft(dy/dx )2=1+d2y/dx2. The highest derivative d2y/dx2 is to the first power, so the order is 2 and the degree is 1.
