Question:

The slope of the tangent to the curve $y=\int\limits_0^x \frac{1}{1+t^3} d t$ at the point where x = 1, is

Options:

$\frac{1}{2}$

1

$\frac{1}{4}$

non-existent

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

We have,

$y=\int\limits_0^x \frac{1}{1+t^3} d t \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{1+x^3} \Rightarrow\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{x=1}=\frac{1}{2}$
