The order and degree of the differential equation $\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}}=\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}$ are respectively
  1. 3,2
  2. 2,3
  3. 2,2
  4. 3,3

Solution

By raising the given equation to the power of 2 , we get $\begin{aligned} & 1+\frac{1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}=\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{3} \\ \therefore &\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}+1=\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{3}\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2} \end{aligned}$ It's order is 2 and degree is 3 .
