ARBITRARY CONSTANTS
Engr. Cynthia V. Plaza
TUTORIAL CLASS SESSION 1
Properties
•  The order of differential equation is equal to the number of
arbitrary constants in the given relation
 The differential equation is consistent with the relation
 The differential equation is free from arbitrary constants

Example
Eliminate the arbitrary constants c1 and c2 from the relation
Note: The number of constants found in the equation requires the number of times for differentiation to eliminate these constants.
