The solution of an ODE contains arbitrary constants, the solution to a PDE contains arbitrary functions.
Correct Answer: True
A differential equation is an equation involving an unknown function y of one or more independent variables x, t, …… and its derivatives. These are divided into two types, ordinary or partial differential equations. An ordinary differential equation is a differential equation in which a dependent variable (say ‘y’) is a function of only one independent variable (say ‘x’). A partial differential equation is one in which a dependent variable depends on one or more independent variables.
