Which of the given differential equations are linear and to determine the order of each equation.

Answer to Problem 1CRE
Solution:
(b) and (d) are linear equations with first and second order respectively while (a) and (c) are non-linear equations with first and third order respectively.
Explanation of Solution
Initially check for linearity. Then observe the higher order derivative to determine the order of the equation.
Given:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Calculation:
(a) - is a non-linear term, hence this is not a linear equation. This is a first order equation as the first derivative is the highest order derivative here.
(b) - this is a linear equation. This is a first order equation as the first derivative is the highest order derivative here.
(c) - is a non-linear term so this is not a linear equation. This is a third order equation as the third derivative is the highest order derivative here.
(d) - this is a linear equation. This is a second order equation as the second derivative is the highest order derivative here.
Conclusion:
Hence, (b) and (d) are linear equations with first and second order respectively while (a) and (c) are non-linear equations with first and third order respectively.
