Answer

$f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{2}+1$

Work Step by Step

The slope of f(x) at x=a is $f^{\prime}(a)$ Given $f^{\prime}(x)=x$ (the slope at x), $f(x)=\displaystyle \int xdx=\frac{x^{2}}{2}+C$ Given f(0)=1, we find the particular C: $f(0)=\displaystyle \frac{0^{2}}{2}+C=1$ $C=1$ So, $f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{2}+1$
