Differential Equations

Formation of a Differential Equation whose General Solution is given


  • The order of a differential equation representing a family of curves is same as the number of arbitrary constants present in the equation corresponding the family of curves.
  • To form a differential equation from a given function we differentiate the function successively as many times as the number of arbitrary constants in the given function and then eliminate the arbitrary constants.
