  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with: ```diff

The statement is false

#

I will send the counter example later

vocal gust
#

What is your counter example? I was leaning towards true.

abstract haven
#

Yeah

#

I think so

vocal gust
abstract haven
#

f and g

#

Are not nessarily result in a complex down function

#

I can prove it to true also false also

vocal gust
#

?

#

How can something be true and false? lol.

abstract haven
#

Its true

#

I am proving it

#

Using chain rule

#

Find the 2nd derivative

#

Of h(x)

#

Ok?

vocal gust
#

yeah

#

ok

#

I will get that

#

that isn't the hard part

abstract haven
#

I think you can do it

vocal gust
#

yes

#

after that what do i do

abstract haven
#

You will write

#

Something

#

f''(x) < 0 and g''(x) < 0.

#

Since f is increasing

#

f"(x) > 0

#

For all x

#

So, h"(x) is negative

#

Stating that

vocal gust
#

ok so I would just keep saying things like that to show that the entire thing is concave down by showing how all the sub parts all concave down?

abstract haven
#

h(x) = f(g(x))

#

Statement is true

vocal gust
#

yeah that is what I had originally done but it was so quick and short that I thought I was wrong lol

abstract haven
#

Lol

#

You can close the post now

#

If you want you can nominate me

#

Now type +close
