(d) 6
Solution:
(d) 6
Hint:
$
\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{1 / 3}}=\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2} .
$
Squaring on both sides
$
\begin{aligned}
1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{1 / 3} & =\left(\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}\right)^2 \\
\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{1 / 3} & =\left(\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}\right)^2-1
\end{aligned}
$
Raising to the power 3 on both sides
$
\frac{d y}{d x}=\left(\left(\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}\right)-1\right)^3
$
Order $=2$, degree $=6$
Question 11.
The degree of the differential equation $c=\frac{\left[1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^3\right]^{2 / 3}}{\frac{d^3 y}{d x^3}}$ where $c$ is a constant is
(a) 1
(b) 3
(c) $-2$
(d) 2
Solution:
(b) 3
Hint:
$
\begin{array}{r}
c=\frac{\left[1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^3\right]^{2 / 3}}{\frac{d^3 y}{d x^3}} \\
c\left(\frac{d^3 y}{d x^3}\right)=\left[1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^3\right]^{\frac{2}{3}}
\end{array}
$
Raising to the power 3 on both sides
$
c^3\left(\frac{d^3 y}{d x^3}\right)^3=\left[1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^3\right]^2
$
Order $=3$, degree $=3$
Question 12.
The amount present in a radio active element disintegrates at a rate proportional to its amount. The differential equation corresponding to the above statement is ( $\mathrm{k}$ is negative)
(a) $\frac{d p}{d t}=\frac{k}{p}$
(b) $\frac{d p}{d t}=k t$
(c) $\frac{d p}{d t}=k p$
(d) $\frac{d p}{d t}=-k t$.
Solution:
(c) $\frac{d p}{d t}=k p$
Hint:
Let $\mathrm{p}$ be the amount present in a radio active element
$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{d p}{d t} & =-(-k p) \quad[\because k \text { is negative }] \\
\Rightarrow \frac{d p}{d t} & =k p
\end{aligned}
$
Question 13.
On putting $y=v x$, the homogeneous differential equation $x^2 d y+y(x+y) d x=0$ becomes ......
(a) $x d v+\left(2 v+v^2\right) d x=0$
(b) $v d x+\left(2 x+x^2\right) d v=0$
(c) $v^2 d x-\left(x+x^2\right) d v=0$
(d) $v d v+\left(2 x+x^2\right) d x=0$
Solution:
(a) $x d v+\left(2 v+v^2\right) d x=0$
Hint:
Given, $x^2 d y+y(x+y) d x=0$
$
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow x^2 d y & =-y(x+y) d x \\
\frac{d y}{d x} & =\frac{-y x-y^2}{x^2}=\frac{-y}{x} \frac{-y^2}{x^2}
\end{aligned}
$
Putting $y=v x \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=v+x \cdot \frac{d v}{d x}$
Substituting in $(1) \Rightarrow v+x \cdot \frac{d v}{d x}=-v-v^2$
$
\begin{aligned}
x \cdot \frac{d v}{d x} & =-v^2-2 v=-\left(v^2+2 v\right) \\
x \cdot d v & =-\left(v^2+2 v\right) \cdot d x \\
x d v+\left(2 v+v^2\right) d x & =0
\end{aligned}
$
