Hold on, let me think this through. The question asks to determine the nature of the stationary points. I think A is a maximum and B is a minimum. Yup, that's gotta be right!

Wait, what? A is a maximum and B is a point of inflexion? Are you sure about that? I thought B was supposed to be a minimum. *scratches head*

Hmm, let's see. The stationary points are A(-1,13) and B(4/3,8/27). Okay, got it! A is a maximum and B is a point of inflexion. Easy peasy!

I'm not sure about A being a maximum. I think A might be a point of inflexion.
