Mathematics Question on Differential equations
The numbers of arbitrary constants in the general solution of a differential equation of fourth order are:
A
0
B
2
C
3
D
4
Answer
4
Explanation
Solution
We know that the number of constants in the general solution of a differential equation of order n is equal to its order.
Therefore, the number of constants in the general equation of fourth order differential equation is four.
Hence, the correct answer is (D): 4
