In this probelem i have to use a graphing utility to graph each function over the indicated interval and approximate any local maximum valuesand local minimum values. Determine where the function is increasing and where it is decreasing. Round answers to two decimal places. the function is f(x)= x⁴ - x² [-2,2] what dose the [-2,2] mean and what do i do with it?
