rac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}+\sin \left(y^{\prime \prime \prime}\right)=0

Solution

Given: The differential equation is d4ydx4+sin⁡(y′′′)=0\frac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}+\sin \left(y^{\prime \prime \prime}\right)=0.
To Find: The order and degree of the differential equation.
Solution: The given differential equation is: d4ydx4+sin⁡(y′′′)=0\frac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}+\sin \left(y^{\prime \prime \prime}\right)=0 This can be written as: d4ydx4+sin⁡(d3ydx3)=0\frac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}+\sin \left(\frac{d^3 y}{d x^3}\right)=0
Order: The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative appearing in the equation. In this equation, the highest order derivative is d4ydx4\frac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}, which has an order of 4. Therefore, the order of the differential equation is 4.
Degree: The degree of a differential equation is the highest power (as a positive integer) of the highest order derivative, after the differential equation has been expressed as a polynomial in derivatives. The given equation cannot be expressed as a polynomial in its derivatives because of the term sin⁡(y′′′)\sin \left(y^{\prime \prime \prime}\right). The sine function has an infinite series expansion involving powers of its argument. For example: sin⁡(x)=x−x33!+x55!−…\sin(x) = x - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} - \dots So, sin⁡(y′′′)=y′′′−(y′′′)33!+(y′′′)55!−…\sin \left(y^{\prime \prime \prime}\right) = y^{\prime \prime \prime} - \frac{(y^{\prime \prime \prime})^3}{3!} + \frac{(y^{\prime \prime \prime})^5}{5!} - \dots Since the equation cannot be written as a finite polynomial in the derivatives, its degree is not defined.
Final Answer: The order is 4 and the degree is not defined.
