Question

In the equation, y= x^2+c,c is known as the parameter and x and y are known as the main variables.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in exam.

The doubt is from First Order Linear PDE topic in chapter Partial Differential Equations of Engineering Mathematics

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) True

The explanation is: Given: y= x^2+c, where c is known as an arbitrary constant. It is also referred to as the parameter to differentiate it from the main variables x and y.
