The order of the differential equation, whose solution is $y=\left(C_1+C_2\right) \mathrm{e}^x+C_3 \mathrm{e}^{x+C_4}$, is
  1. 4
  2. 1
  3. 3
  4. 2

Solution

$\begin{aligned} y & =\left(C_1+C_2\right) \mathrm{e}^x+\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{e}^{x+\mathrm{C}_4} \\ & =\mathrm{Ae}^x+\mathrm{Be}^x \text {, where } \mathrm{A}=\mathrm{C}_1+\mathrm{C}_2 \text { and } \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{C}_4} \\ & =(\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}) \mathrm{e}^x \\ & =\mathrm{De}^x, \text { where } \mathrm{D}=\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B} \end{aligned}$
This equation consist of one arbitrary constant.
