Work Step by Step

$h(x)=\displaystyle \frac{x^{3}}{3}-2x^{2}+4x,\quad x\in[0,\infty)$ $h'(x)=x^{2}-4x+4=(x-2)^{2}$ $f$ and $f'$ are defined on $[0,\infty)$ $h'(x)=0$ for $ x=2\qquad$ ... critical point. $\left[\begin{array}{cccccc} t & 0 & 1 & 2 & & 3 & \infty\\ interval & [ & (0,2) & & (2,,\infty) & & )\\ h'(x) & & 1 & 0 & 12 & & \\ h(x) & 0 & \nearrow & 8/3 & \nearrow & & \\ & & & & & & \end{array}\right]$
