The differential equation $\left[\frac{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2}{\left(\frac{d^2 y}{d…

The differential equation $\left[\frac{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2}{\left(\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\right]^2=\mathrm{k} x$ is of
  1. order $=2$, degree $=3$
  2. order $=3$, degree $=2$
  3. order $=2$, degree $=2$
  4. order $=3$, degree $=3$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & {\left[\frac{1+\left(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\right)^2}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{~d}^2 y}{\mathrm{~d} x^2}\right)}\right]^{\frac{3}{2}}=\mathrm{k} x} \\ & \therefore:\left[\frac{1+\left(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\right)^2}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{~d}^2 y}{\mathrm{~d} x^2}\right)}\right]^3=(\mathrm{kx})^2 \\ & \therefore \quad\left[1+\left(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\right)^2\right]^3=(\mathrm{k} x)^2\left(\frac{\mathrm{~d}^2 y}{\mathrm{~d} x^2}\right)^3 \\ & \therefore \quad \text { Order }=2, \text { Degree }=3 \end{aligned}$
