Answer

See graph. local maximum $f(1.15)=1.08$ local minimum $f(-1.15)=-5.08$ increasing $(-1.15,1.15)$ decreasing $(-3,-1.15)U(1.15,3)$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. See graph for $f(x)=-x^3+4x-2$ Step 2. We can identify a local maximum as $f(1.15)=1.08$ Step 3. We can identify a local minimum as $f(-1.15)=-5.08$ Step 4. We can identify increasing interval(s) $(-1.15,1.15)$ Step 5. We can identify decreasing interval(s) $(-3,-1.15)U(1.15,3)$
