Determine order and degree of (y‴)²+(y″)³+(y′)⁴+y⁵=0.
💡 Concept Hints
Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.
✅ Step-by-Step Solution
Final Answer: Order 3; degree 2
The highest derivative appearing is of order 3.
The equation is polynomial in its derivatives; the highest-order derivative has exponent 2. The powers of lower derivatives do not determine the degree.
