If \(c_1, c_2, c_3, c_4, c_5\) are arbitrary constants, then the order of the differential equation whose general solution is \(y=\left(c_1+c_2\right) \sin \left(x+c_3\right)+c_4 e^{x+c_5}\) is
  1. 3
  2. 5
  3. 4
  4. Not defined

Solution

General solution of differential equation is, \(y=\left(C_1+C_2\right) \sin \left(x+C_3\right)+C_4 e^{x+C_5}\) Here solution is of form; \(\begin{aligned} & y=A \sin \left(x+C_3\right)+B e^x \\ & {\left[\because C_1+C_2=A, C_4 e^c=B\right] } \end{aligned}\) So, there are 3-arbitrary constants, \(A_1 C_3\) and \(B\) Now, order of differential equation \(=\) number of arbitrary constants in general solution. So, order of differential equation is 3.
