Consider the following statements: 1. The general solution of \( \frac{d y}{d x}=f(x)+ \) \( x \) is of the form \( y=g(x)+c, \) where \( c \) is an arbitrary constant. 2. The degree of \( \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}=f(x) \) is 2 Which of the above statements is/are correct?

  • A. 1 only
  • B. 2 only
  • C. Both 1 and 2
  • D. Neither 1 nor 2

Step-by-step solution

Statement 1: Integrating dy/dx = f(x) + x gives y = ∫f(x)dx + ∫x dx = g(x) + c, so correct. Statement 2: The highest derivative is dy/dx raised to power 2, so degree is 2, correct.
