The diagram below shows the graph of \(y=\mathrm{{f}'}\left( x \right)\)intersecting the \(x\)-axis at \(x=-3\) and \(x=1\). Given that \(\mathrm{f}\left( -3 \right)=4\) and \(\mathrm{f}\left( 1 \right)=1\),

  1. state the coordinates of the stationary points and their nature of \(y=\mathrm{f}\left( x \right)\),[3]
  2. find the range of values of \(x\) for which the curve \(y=\mathrm{f}\left( x \right)\) is strictly decreasing,[2]
  3. sketch the graph of \(y=\mathrm{f}\left( x \right)\).[2]
