The degree of the differential equation

Question:

The degree of the differential equation

$\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{3}+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}+\sin \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)+1=0$ is

(A) 3 (B) 2 (C) 1 (D) not defined

Solution:

$\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{3}+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}+\sin \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)+1=0$

The given differential equation is not a polynomial equation in its derivatives. Therefore, its degree is not defined.

Hence, the correct answer is D.
