A curve has equation \(y = f(x)\) and it is given that \(f'(x) = ax^2 + bx\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are positive constants.

(i) Find, in terms of \(a\) and \(b\), the non-zero value of \(x\) for which the curve has a stationary point and determine, showing all necessary working, the nature of the stationary point.

(ii) It is now given that the curve has a stationary point at \((-2, -3)\) and that the gradient of the curve at \(x = 1\) is 9. Find \(f(x)\).
