how to find an order of differential equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check the highest order of the derivative in any given equation. For example, the degree of \[y^{(4)}-3xy''+y^2=\sin x\] is 4, as that is the highest order derivative present in the equation.

how to find degree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Degree is the same as order in this context.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u mean that degree nd order are same in DE?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

order is the highest derivative ... degree is the power of the order. \[\frac {d^4y}{dx^4}\text{ is a degree 1, order 4}\] \[\left(\frac {d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^5\text{ is a degree 5, order 3}\]

Much better way of phrasing. Thanks @amistre64.
