## RD Sharma Solutions Class 12 Chapter 22

An equation containing a dependent variable, an independent variable and differential coefficients of dependent variable w.r.t. the independent variable in known as a differential Equation.

General Form of a Differential Equation:

$\boldsymbol{P_{0}\left ( \frac{d^{n}y}{dx^{n}} \right )\;+\;P_{1}\left ( \frac{d^{n-1}y}{dx^{n-1}} \right )\;+\;P_{2}\left ( \frac{d^{n-2}y}{dx^{n-2}} \right )\;+ \;. \;.\; . \;+ \;P_{n-1}\frac{dy}{dx}+P_{n}y\;=\;Q }$

Examples:

$\frac{dx}{dy}\;=\;5yx\;,\;\frac{dy}{dx}\;=\;2x^{3} + 12xy\;,\; \frac{dx}{dy}-sin \;x=cos\;x\;,\;\frac{d^{2y}}{dx^{2}}-5x=0$

Order of a Differential Equation:

It is the order of the highest order derivative appearing in the equation.

Examples: The Equation $\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}= 5y+8 \left ( \frac{dy}{dx} \right )^{2}$ is of order 3

The equation $\frac{d^{5}y}{dx^{5}}= -6y+15 \left ( \frac{dy}{dx} \right )^{7}$ is of order 5.

Degree of a Differential Equation:

It is the degree of the highest order derivative (Differential coefficients are free from fraction and radicals).

Examples: The Equation $\frac{d^{4}y}{dx^{4}}-7y= 10 \left ( \frac{dy}{dx} \right )^{8}$ is of degree 1 because, the power of the highest order derivative in this differential equation is 1.

The Equation $\left ( \frac{d^{3}y}{dx^{3}} \right )^{5}= 21y-10 \left ( \frac{dy}{dx} \right )^{2}$ is of degree 5 because, the power of the highest order derivative in this differential equation is 5.
