The degree of the differential equation

(1+dydx)4=(d2ydx2)2\left(1 + \frac{dy}{dx}\right)^4 = \left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^2 is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Degree is the highest power of the highest-order derivative when the equation is polynomial in derivatives. Highest order derivative is d2ydx2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}, raised to power 2. Degree = 2.
