The slope of the tangent to the curve $y=\int_0^x \frac{1}{1+t^3} d t$ at the point, where $x=1$ is
The slope of the tangent to the curve $y=\int_0^x \frac{1}{1+t^3} d t$ at the point, where $x=1$ is
- $\frac{1}{4}$
- $\frac{1}{3}$
- $\frac{1}{2}$
- $1$
Solution
We have, $y=\int_0^x \frac{1}{1+t^3} d t$
Differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get $\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{1+x^3}$
$\begin{aligned}
& \text { At } x=1 \\
& \therefore \quad\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{x=1}=\frac{1}{1+1}=\frac{1}{2}
\end{aligned}$
