    Take the derivitive

    g' (x) = 4x³-5

    find whre it equals 0

    4x³-5=0

    4x³=5

    x³=1.25

    x=∛1.25≈1.08

    make a sign chart

    at 1.08, make a mark

    evaluate the derivitive to the left and right of 1.08, make note of the sign only

    g' (0) = (-)

    g' (2) = (+)

    the sign changes from negative to positive and is 0 at x=∛1.25

    downward slope, then 0 slope then upward slope indicates a minimum

    find the y value

    g (∛1.25) = 1.25∛1.25-5∛1.25+4≈-0.0395, rounded - 0.04

    minimum at (1.08,-0.04)
