The degree and order of the differential equation of the family of all parabolas whose axis is the -axis, are respectively:

  1. A
    2, 1
  2. B
    1, 2
  3. C
    3, 2
  4. D
    2, 3

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The equation of a parabola with axis as -axis is .There are two arbitrary constants: and .Thus, the order of the differential equation is 2.Differentiating:.Differentiating again:.The order is 2, and since the highest order derivative has power 1, the degree is 1.
