Use Demos Graphing Calculator it is the best help

one approach
f(0) = -3
constant = 3. what are the factors of -3:  1,3, -1, -3
find f(x) using these values  when f(x) = 0 you have the intercepts
f(1) =(1)^3 + 3(1)^2 -(1) -3 = 1 + 3 -1 -3 = 0
(x-1) is a factor of  x3 + 3x2 - x - 3
when you divide  and factor 
points are (1,0), (0, -3), (-3.0) (-1,0)
