Q.
The order of the differential equation associated with the primitive y=c1+c2ex+c3e−2x+c4, where c1,c2,c3,c4 are arbitrary constants, is ____
We have, y=c1+c2ex+c3e−2x+c4 ⇒y=c1+c2ex+c3e−2x⋅ec4 ⇒y=c1+c2ex+c3′e−2x, where c3′=c3ec4
It is an equation containing three arbitrary constants. So, the associated differential equation is of order 3.
