Explain differential equation of order 3?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

A differential equation of order three is defined as an equation that includes the third derivative of an unknown function. For example, the equation \(\frac{d^3y}{dx^3}= 0\) illustrates a simple case where the third derivative of \(y\) with respect to \(x\) equals zero. Another example is \(y^2\frac{d^3y}{dt^3}- 7y\frac{d^2y}{dt^2}+ \sin(y)\frac{dy}{dt}+ e^{ty}= \ln(t)\), which incorporates multiple derivatives and functions of \(y\) with respect to \(t\).
