The slope of the normal to the curve \(y=x^3-4 \sin x\) at \(x=0\) is:

  1. A \(-4\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  3. C 4
  4. D \(-\frac{1}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 - 4 \cos x\) \(m_{tangent} = 3(0)^2 - 4 \cos(0) = -4\) \(m_{normal} = -\frac{1}{m_{tangent}} = -\frac{1}{-4} = \frac{1}{4}\)
