    Find min/max distance between (0,4) and y=x^2/4

    I am trying to find the minimum and maximum distance between point (0,4) and the line y=(x^2)/4 in the region of 0<=x<=2√3. This is what i have so far y(distance)=√((x-0)^2+((x^2)/4)^2) =(x^2+(X^4)/16+16)^0.5 then calculate y' then make y'=0 then determine if max or min using 2nd...
