(define (f x) (* x x))
(f 2))

functions where in one case I use local and in the other case I omit
local?

local is a teaching construct that ensures that the semantics of locally
defined functions is 100% in sync with 'globally' defined functions. An
experienced programmer may ignore local completely. -- Matthias
