Answer:

1) (0,-2)

2)
(-2,0),(-1,0),(1,0)

Explanation:

The given function is


f(x)=x^3+2x^2-x-2

At y-intercept
x=0

This implies that;


f(0)=(0)^3+2(0)^2-0-2


f(0)=-2

The y-intercept is

(0,-2).

At x-intercept
f(x)=0


x^3+2x^2-x-2=0

Factor to obtain;


(x+1)(x-1)(x+2)=0

This implies that;


x=-2,x=-1,x=1

The x-intercepts are


(-2,0),(-1,0),(1,0)

The points are plotted in the file attached.
