Degree of a differential equation

 The highest exponent of the highest order derivative is called degree of differential equation provided exponent of each derivative and the unknown variable appearing in the differential equation is a non-negative integer.

For example Degree of a differential equation + x = 0

Degree of a differential equation ⇒

Here degree is 2.

(ii) Degree of a differential equation + x + y = 0

Degree of a differential equation = (−x − y)3

So degree is 2.
