3) Let S be a non-empty convex subset of R" and f a real valued concave
function on S. Prove the following statement: If x, x' e S maximizes f (over
S), then for any a E (0, 1), ax + (1- a)x' also maximizes f (over S).
4) Prove the following statement: For any g : R" R and any f: D R,
where D is a convex subset of R that contains the range of g, if g is a concave
function and f is a convex and non-increasing function, then fog: R" -R
is a convex function. (Note that f and g does not have to be differentiable.)
