The slope at any point of a curve \(y=f(x)\) is given by \(\frac{d y}{d x}=3 x^2\) and it passes through \((-1,1)\). The equation of the curve is

  1. A \(y=x^3+2\)
  2. B \(y=-x^3-2\)
  3. C \(y=3 x^3+4\)
  4. D \(y=-x^3+2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(y=x^3+2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: \(\frac{d y}{d x}=3 x^2 \Rightarrow \int d y=\int 3 x^2 d x \Rightarrow y=x^3+\mathrm{C}\) Curve passes through \((-1,1)\). Hence \(1=-1+C \Rightarrow C=2\) \[ \therefore y=x^3+2 \]
