Identify the order and degree of the equation dy/dx + 2y = 0.
Count the highest derivative and its power.
What is the order of the equation d^3y/dx^3 + 4y = 5?
Look for the highest derivative present.
What is the order of the differential equation d^4y/dx^4 + 2y' = 3?
Focus on the maximum derivative to find the order.
True or False: The degree of a differential equation is the exponent of the highest order derivative.
Think about how we define the degree.
