The x-intercept is (1, 0) and (-0.5, 0).
The correct option is (a)
The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis.
Given function is:
f(x)= [tex]-2x^{2}+x+1[/tex]
So, The graph of this equation is attaches below.
The x- intercepts of this graph
[tex]\mathrm{X\:Intercepts}:\:\left(-\frac{1}{2},\:0\right),\:\left(1,\:0\right)[/tex]
or
X intercepts: (1, 0) and (-0.5, 0)
Hence, the x-intercept is (1, 0) and (-0.5, 0).
