Question 1

Determine order and degree(if defined) of differential equation \begin{align} \frac{d^4y}{dx^4}\;+\;\sin(y^m)\;=0\end{align}

Answer

\begin{align} \frac{d^4y}{dx^4}\;+\;\sin(y^m)\;=0 \end{align}

\begin{align} \Rightarrow y^{m\;'}+\;\sin(y^m)\;=0 \end{align}

The highest order derivative present in the differential equation is ym '. Therefore, its order is four.

The given differential equation is not a polynomial equation in its derivatives. Hence, its degree is not defined.
