Example 1) dydx + y = 2x 2
The above equation has only the first derivative dydx, therefore it is said to be
in "First Order".
This equation has a second derivative d ydx , therefore we can say that the

The highest derivative in the given equation is just dy/dx, and it has an
exponent of 2, so we can say that it is "Second Degree".
We can say that the given equation above is First Order Second Degree

General and Particular Solution of a Differential Equation
The general solution of the differential equation is one that contains arbitrary
constants.
Here are the three methods that are used to solve the first-order and the first-
degree differential equations.

Real - Life Examples of the Application of Differential Equation
If the number of rabbits we have is more the more baby rabbits we get. Then
these rabbits grow up and have babies too. The population will grow faster.
Let the growth rate r = 0.01 new rabbits per week for every current
rabbit
The population's rate of change is (d/dt )N then 1000 × 0.01 which is equal to
10 new rabbits per week.
This is true at a specific time and doesn't show that the population is
constantly increasing.
So we can say that the rate of change (at any instant) is the growth rate times
the population at that instant:
dN/dt= rN
We can say that differential Equations can describe how populations change.
They are a natural way to describe how many things change in the universe.
Questions to be Solved:
Question 1) Find out the degree and the order of the given Differential
Equation:
dy/dx - sin x = 0
Solution) The highest order derivative present in the given differential equation
is dy/dx, so the differential order is order one. The highest power dy/dx is
raised to is one, so the degree is one.
dy/dx = 1/x2;
y(1)=4
y=−1/x+c
y=∫ (1/x2) dx
y=∫ (1/x2) dx
y= x−1/-1+c
Now, we apply our initial conditions (x = 1, y = 4) and solve for C, which will
give us our particular solution:
4=−1+c
Now, we will solve for
4=−1+c
5=C
y=−1/x+5
Hence, the particular solution of a differential equation is y = -1/x + 5
Question 3) Find the general solution of the following differential equation
tan-1t = x + x³/3 + C
The above equation is the required general solution of the differential
equation.
dt/dx = ez+t
Solution: We have,
dt/dx = ez+t
ez + et
e−tdt = ezdz
e−tdt = ezdz
On integrating, we get
−e−t = ez + C
ez + e−t = −Corez + e−t = C
Conclusion:
The study of differential equations is a wide field
in pure and applied mathematics, physics, and engineering. All
of these disciplines are concerned with the properties of
differential equations of various types. Pure mathematics
focuses on the existence and uniqueness of solutions, while
applied mathematics emphasizes the rigorous justification of
the methods for approximating solutions. Differential equations
play an important role in modeling virtually every physical,
technical, or biological process, from celestial motion, to bridge
design, to interactions between neurons. Differential equations
such as those used to solve real-life problems may not
necessarily be directly solvable, i.e. do not have closed
form solutions. Instead, solutions can be approximated
using numerical methods.
