Default Max/Min/Saddle Points of an Equation

Find the relative extrema and saddle points of the function f(x, y) = 4xy – x4 – y4. Include the second derivative test in your answer.


I know how to get the partials, for x, y, xx, yy, and xy, but after that, I am lost on this type of question, any help is appreciated.
