First Order Differential Equations

These are equations, Calculus-style. From modeling real-world phenomenon, from the path of a rocket to the cooling of a physical object, Differential Equations are all around us.

Differential Equations - Degree and Order

         

Which of the following differential equations is a linear equation of order \(3:\) \[\begin{align} &(a) \frac{d^3y}{dx^3}+\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\frac{dy}{dx}+y=5x\\ &(b) \frac{d^3y}{dx^3}+\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+y^2=x^2+3x\\ &(c) x\frac{d^3y}{dx^3}+\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=e^x\\ &(d) \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+\frac{dy}{dx}=\log{x}? \end{align}\]

If \(a\) and \(b\) are the order and the degree, respectively, of the differential equation \[\left(\frac{d^{4}y}{dx^{4}}\right)^{8}-\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^{25}+15=0,\] what is the value of \(b-a?\)
