The order and degree of the differential equation respectively, are
The differential equation is
Order is defined as the number which represents the highest derivative in a differential equation
Here is the highest derivative in given equation which is second order hence order of given differential equation is 2
Now let us find the degree
Let us first bring integer powers on the differentials
Take power 4 on both sides
Now for degree to exist the differential equation (a) must be a polynomial in some differentials
Here differentials means
The given differential equation is polynomial in differentials
Degree of differential equation is defined as the highest integer power of highest order derivative in the equation
Observe that in the term of differential equation (a) the maximum power of will be 4
Highest order is and highest power to it is 4
Hence degree of given differential equation is 4
Hence order 2 and degree 4
