Answer:

The y intercept is 0

The x intercept is -1

Explanation:

To find the y intercept set x = 0 and solve for y

y =x^3 +1

y = 0+1

y =1

The y intercept is 0

To find the x intercept set y = 0 and solve for x

0 = x^3 +1

Subtract 1 from each side

-1 = x^3

Take the cube root of each side

(-1) ^ 1/3 = x^3^1/3

-1 =x

The x intercept is -1
