Work Step by Step

$g(x)=x^{2}-4x+4,\quad x\in[1,\infty)$ $g'(x)=2x-4=2(x-2)$ $g$ and $g'$ are defined on $[1,\infty).$ $g'(x)=0$ for $ x=2\qquad$ ... critical point. $g'(1.5)=-1\lt 0$ $g'(3)=1\gt 0$ $g(1)=1,\quad g(2)=0$ $g':\quad \begin{array}{llllll} 1 & & 2 & & \infty & \\ [ & -- & | & ++ & ) & \\ \hline 1 & \searrow & & \nearrow & & \\ & & 0 & & & \\ & & & & & \end{array}$
