The number of arbitrary constants in ...

The number of arbitrary constants in the general solution of a differential equation of fourth order are: (A) 0 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4

A

`0`

B

`2`

C

`3`

D

`4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
We know that the number of constants present in the general solution of a given differential equation is equal to the order of the given differential equation.
Therefore, the number of constants in the general solution of a differential equation of order `4` will be `4`.
