Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given differential equation is \(\left[1 - \left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)^2\right]^{\dfrac{3}{2}} = kx \dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\). To determine the order and degree, the equation must be expressed as a polynomial in terms of the derivatives. Squaring both sides to eliminate the…
