Problem

Determine the order of the differential equation: $x^{2} y^{\prime \prime}-5 x y^{\prime}+13 y=0$

Solution

Step 1 :The order of a differential equation is determined by the highest power of the derivative present in the equation.

Step 2 :In the given differential equation, \(x^{2} y^{\prime \prime}-5 x y^{\prime}+13 y=0\), the highest derivative is \(y^{\prime \prime}\), which is the second derivative of \(y\) with respect to \(x\).

Step 3 :Therefore, the order of the given differential equation is 2.

Step 4 :\(\boxed{\text{The order of the differential equation } x^{2} y^{\prime \prime}-5 x y^{\prime}+13 y=0 \text{ is 2}}\)
