A cubic determined by two points and two stationary inputs

The graph of y=f(x)y=f(x), where f(x)f(x) is a cubic polynomial, passes through the points (1,6)(1,6), (−2,15)(-2,15) and has two stationary points at x=1/3x=1/3 and x=−2x=-2.

Find the equation of the curve and hence find its xx-intercept. marks
