The highest order of derivative is 2. There will be a second derivative {f''(x) or d2y/dx} in the equation.

What are the applications of differential equations?

Many real world problems can be represented by first order differential equation. Some applications of differential equation are radio-active decay and carbon dating, population growth and decay, warming/cooling law and draining a tank.


What is impulsive differential equation?

Differential equation is defined in the domain except at few points (may be consider the time domain ti ) may be (finite or countable) in the domain and a function or difference equation is defined at each ti in the domain. So, differential equation with the impulsive effects we call it as impulsive differential equation (IDE). The solutions of the differential equation is continuous in the domain. But the solutions of the IDE are piecewise continuous in the domain. This is due to the nature of impulsive system. Generally IDE have first order discontinuity. There are so many applications for IDE in practical life.


What is impulsive system in differential equation?

A differential equation have a solution. It is continuous in the given region, but the solution of the impulsive differential equations have piecewise continuous. The impulsive differential system have first order discontinuity. This type of problems have more applications in day today life. Impulses are arise more natural in evolution system.


Application of differential equation in chemistry?

The rate at which a chemical process occurs is usually best described as a differential equation.


Why you solve a differential equation for x?

In its normal form, you do not solve differential equation for x, but for a function of x, usually denoted by y = f(x).
