- Correct answerA$x+10 y-6=0$
- B$2 x+y+7=0$
- C$x-2 y+6=0$
- D$x+2 y+2=0$
Solution
To determine the order and degree of the differential equation $3-\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}^{3} y}{\mathrm{d} x^{3}}\right)^{\frac{7}{3}} = \left(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}\right)^{5}$, we identify the highest order derivative present.
The equation contains $\frac{\mathrm{d}^{3} y}{\mathrm{d} x^{3}}$ and $\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}$, making the order $3$.
To establish the degree, we isolate the radical term and eliminate fractional exponents by raising both sides to the power of $3$:
$\left[\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}^{3} y}{\mathrm{d} x^{3}}\right)^{\frac{7}{3}}\right]^{3} = \left[3 - \left(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}\right)^{5}\right]^{3}$
Thus, $\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}^{3} y}{\mathrm{d} x^{3}}\right)^{7} = \left[3 - \left(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}\right)^{5}\right]^{3}$.
The highest power of the highest order derivative is $7$, so the degree is $7$.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
