The problem statement appears incomplete as written, so a definitive conclusion about g at x = 4 cannot be drawn from the given data alone.

First, note what information is provided: g is stated to be continuous on some interval, and there are references to certain conditions or expressions that are not visible here. Without the explicit definition of g, or how g is related to any other functions (such as a derivative or a transformation), we cannot assess local behavior at x = 4.

Second, recall the typical criteria for a local minimum at a point x = a:
- If g is differentiable at a and g'(a) = 0 with a change in sign of g' around a (or second derivative test applies with g''(a) > 0), then a is a local minimum.
- If g is not differentiable at a but is continuous, a local minimum could still occur if a is the endpoint of a domain interval or if the left and right limits satisfy g(a) ≤ g(x) for x near a, but we would need a precise description of the neighborhood and the function values.
- If g has no information about monotonicity or derivative behavior at a, we cannot conclude a local extremum.

Third, since the statement, as provided, omits the actual form or conditions involving g (for example, whether g is defined by a specific formula, whether g is differentiable at 4, or what the one-sided derivative values are), any claim about having a local minimum at x = 4 would be speculative.

Fourth, to proceed once the full data are available, you would:
- check if g is differentiable at 4 and compute g'(4); if g'(4) = 0 and the second derivative or higher-order conditions indicate positivity, consider a local minimum.
- examine the left-hand and right-hand limits of g(x) as x approaches 4 if differentiability is not given; verify if g(4) is less than or equal to nearby values.
- consider endpoint behavior if 4 is an endpoint of the domain; local minima can occur at endpoints even without interior critical points.

Finally, with the current incomplete information, any assertion about a local minimum at x = 4 cannot be justified. Additional details about g, its formula, domain, and differentiability at 4 are necessary to determine the presence or absence of a local minimum.
