2 You are given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 2 x ^ { 3 } - 3 x ^ { 2 } - 23 x + 12\).
  1. Show that \(x = - 3\) is a root of \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\) and hence factorise \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) fully.
  2. Sketch the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
  3. Find the \(x\)-coordinates of the points where the line \(y = 4 x + 12\) intersects \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
