The graphs intersect at (1,2).
The graphs intersect at left parenthesis 1 comma 2 right parenthesis .

Both functions have an x-intercept of (−1,0) and a y-intercept of (0,1).
Both functions have an x -intercept of left parenthesis negative 1 comma 0 right parenthesis and a y -intercept of left parenthesis 0 comma 1 right parenthesis .

Both functions have a y-intercept of (−1,0) and an x-intercept of (0,1).
Both functions have a y -intercept of left parenthesis negative 1 comma 0 right parenthesis and an x -intercept of left parenthesis 0 comma 1 right parenthesis .

The x- and y-intercepts are different for each function.

To compare the functions \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \) and \( g(x) = x + 1 \) using their intercepts:

  1. Finding x-intercepts (where \( y = 0 \)):

    • For \( f(x) = 0 \): \[ x^3 + 1 = 0 \implies x^3 = -1 \implies x = -1 \] So, \( f(x) \) has an x-intercept at \( (-1, 0) \).

    • For \( g(x) = 0 \): \[ x + 1 = 0 \implies x = -1 \] So, \( g(x) \) also has an x-intercept at \( (-1, 0) \).

  2. Finding y-intercepts (where \( x = 0 \)):

    • For \( f(0) \): \[ f(0) = 0^3 + 1 = 1 \] So, \( f(x) \) has a y-intercept at \( (0, 1) \).

    • For \( g(0) \): \[ g(0) = 0 + 1 = 1 \] So, \( g(x) \) also has a y-intercept at \( (0, 1) \).

Summary of Intercepts:

  • Both functions have an x-intercept at \( (-1, 0) \).
  • Both functions have a y-intercept at \( (0, 1) \).

Conclusion:

The correct statement is: Both functions have an x-intercept of (−1,0) and a y-intercept of (0,1).
