A curve \(y = f(x)\) has a stationary point at \(P(3, -10)\). It is given that \(f'(x) = 2x^2 + kx - 12\), where \(k\) is a constant.
- Show that \(k = -2\) and hence find the \(x\)-coordinate of the other stationary point, \(Q\).
- Find \(f''(x)\) and determine the nature of each of the stationary points \(P\) and \(Q\).
- Find \(f(x)\).
