To analyze the intercepts of the functions \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \) and \( g(x) = x + 1 \):

1. **X-intercepts** occur where the output of the function is 0 (i.e., \( f(x) = 0 \) or \( g(x) = 0 \)).
- For \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \):
\[
x^3 + 1 = 0 \implies x^3 = -1 \implies x = -1.
\]
Thus, the x-intercept is \( (-1, 0) \).

- For \( g(x) = x + 1 \):
\[
x + 1 = 0 \implies x = -1.
\]
Thus, the x-intercept is also \( (-1, 0) \).

2. **Y-intercepts** occur where \( x = 0 \).
- For \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \):
\[
f(0) = 0^3 + 1 = 1.
\]
Thus, the y-intercept is \( (0, 1) \).

- For \( g(x) = x + 1 \):
\[
g(0) = 0 + 1 = 1.
\]
Thus, the y-intercept is also \( (0, 1) \).

Since both functions have the same x-intercept of \( (-1, 0) \) and the same y-intercept of \( (0, 1) \), the true statement about the intercepts of the functions is:

**Both functions have an x-intercept of \((-1, 0)\) and a y-intercept of \((0, 1)\).**

Therefore, this option is correct:
"Both functions have an x-intercept of (-1,0) and a y-intercept of (0,1)."
