To determine the intercepts of the functions \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \) and \( g(x) = x + 1 \), we can find both the x-intercepts and y-intercepts for each function.
For \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \):
-
Y-Intercept: Set \( x = 0 \): \[ f(0) = 0^3 + 1 = 1 \] So, the y-intercept is \( (0, 1) \).
-
X-Intercept: Set \( f(x) = 0 \): \[ x^3 + 1 = 0 \implies x^3 = -1 \implies x = -1 \] So, the x-intercept is \( (-1, 0) \).
For \( g(x) = x + 1 \):
-
Y-Intercept: Set \( x = 0 \): \[ g(0) = 0 + 1 = 1 \] So, the y-intercept is \( (0, 1) \).
-
X-Intercept: Set \( g(x) = 0 \): \[ x + 1 = 0 \implies x = -1 \] So, the x-intercept is \( (-1, 0) \).
Summary of Intercepts:
-
For \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \):
- X-Intercept: \( (-1, 0) \)
- Y-Intercept: \( (0, 1) \)
-
For \( g(x) = x + 1 \):
- X-Intercept: \( (-1, 0) \)
- Y-Intercept: \( (0, 1) \)
Conclusion:
Both functions have the same x-intercept at \( (-1, 0) \) and the same y-intercept at \( (0, 1) \).
Therefore, the true statement is: Both functions have an x-intercept of \( (-1, 0) \) and a y-intercept of \( (0, 1) \).
