Solution
Order is determined by the highest derivative in the equation. Degree is the power of the highest derivative when the equation is a polynomial in derivatives. If the equation contains transcendental functions (exponential, trigonometric, logarithmic) of derivatives, the degree is not defined.
For equation (A):
The highest derivative is , so order .
The equation contains , which is an exponential function of a derivative. The equation is not a polynomial in derivatives, so degree is not defined.
Match: (A) → (II)
For equation (B):
The highest derivative is , so order .
The equation is a polynomial in derivatives. The highest derivative appears with power , so degree .
Match: (B) → (III)
For equation (C):
The highest derivative is , so order .
The equation is a polynomial in derivatives. The highest derivative appears with power (the coefficient does not affect the degree), so degree .
Match: (C) → (IV)
For equation (D):
The highest derivative is , so order .
The equation is a polynomial in derivatives. The highest derivative appears with power , so degree .
Match: (D) → (I)
Final matching:
(A) → (II), (B) → (III), (C) → (IV), (D) → (I)
