What is an Equation??
A statement asserting the equality of two expressions, usually written as a linear array of symbols that are separated into left and right sides and joined by an equal sign is called an Equation.
Let us understand this with the help of the below example:
Example:
If one number is thrice the other and their sum is 60, find the numbers.
Solution:
Let the numbers be x and y.
x is 3 times y
x = 3y …(1)Sum of x and y is 60
x + y = 60 …(2)Putting the value of x from (1) in (2), we get,
3y + y = 60
4y = 60
y = 15Substituting y = 15 in (1), we get,
x = 3 x 15
= 45
What is Differential Equation:-
An equation involving problem on derivative (derivatives) of the dependent variable with respect to independent variable (variables) is called a differential equation.
Below is one example on Differential Equation:
Equations involving derivatives with respect to more than one independent variables, called a Partial Differential Equation.
