that is
I am helping you understand the logic behind answering the question yourself
is the right side of the equation linear
am I allowed to laugh at bopit even though i never took these classes?
okay, more simple question, what does linear mean
okay, so it the right side linear

bopit, you have a derivative of x equal to a non linear combination of x
there is a reason it is called a linear de, and as a hint, the reason is directly related to what linear for an equation means
Pika, I doubt Bopit understands WHAT a differential equation represents
So this learning won't work
fair point

Bopit, would you like me to find you a pdf of my intro to des course
Linear differential equation
In mathematics, a linear differential equation is a differential equation that is defined by a linear polynomial in the unknown function and its derivatives, that is an equation of the form a 0 ...
en.wikipedia.orgI feel like your college did not teach you math properly again
That is what the words in the thing leg posted mean
In the form of an equation
Interpreting equations/definitions is an important part of math, you really need to start carefully thinking about what all this shit actually means
I have to believe if Bopit takes fluids or whatever this year, he'll learn theory
That or he'll become a business major
Every time bopit comes to me with a math question, I die on the inside because he tries to explain how it was taught to him to me and often it is just so wrong
I really am doubting the quality of your math department bopit
was not a comment against you mate
I am under the impression you are being taught incorrectly
yes
Bopit, look at the equation you posted
Can you identify the polynomial portion of it?
okay, which part is it
okay
what is the degree of that polynomial
okay, and is a second degree polynomial linear?
okay
there you go
you have a non 1st degree polynomial, that is not a linear equation
hence, nonlinear DE
