Question Number 27204 by rish@bh last updated on 03/Jan/18

if g(x)=f(x)+f(1−x)  and f^((2)) (x)<0  then show that   g(x) is increasing in (0,1/2) and  g(x) is decreasing in (1/2,1)

$$\mathrm{if}\:{g}\left({x}\right)={f}\left({x}\right)+{f}\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right) \\ $$ $$\mathrm{and}\:{f}^{\left(\mathrm{2}\right)} \left({x}\right)<\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{then}\:\mathrm{show}\:\mathrm{that}\: \\ $$ $${g}\left({x}\right)\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{increasing}\:\mathrm{in}\:\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{and} \\ $$ $${g}\left({x}\right)\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{decreasing}\:\mathrm{in}\:\left(\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{2},\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$

    ∃g′ because ∃f′′⇒∃f′  g′(x)=f′(x)−f′(1−x)  f′′(x)<0 ⇒f′↓  If x<1−x ⇔x<(1/2)  ⇒^(f′↓) f′(x)>f′(1−x)  g′(x)>0⇒ g↑    If x>1−x⇔x>(1/2)  ⇒^(f′↓) f′(x)<f′(1−x)  g′(x)<0 ⇒ g↓

What does f′↓ mean??

$$\mathrm{What}\:\mathrm{does}\:{f}'\downarrow\:\mathrm{mean}?? \\ $$

f′ is decreasing

$$\mathrm{f}'\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{decreasing} \\ $$
