Exercise 14, § 4

Functions of a Real Variable, I, p. 52

Let ff be a convex numerical function and strictly monotone in an open interval I⊂RI \subset \mathbf{R}; let gg be the inverse function of ff (defined in the interval f(I)f(I)). Now prove that if ff is decreasing (resp. increasing) in II, gg is convex (resp. concave) in f(I)f(I).
