Differentiating using the chain rule: g ′ ( x ) = f ′ ( x ) − f ′ ( 1 − x ) When f ′ ′ ( x ) > 0 , f ′ ( x ) is increasing. This means that if a > b , then f ′ ( a ) > f ′ ( b ) for a , b on the interval ( 0 , 1 ) .
Now consider a value x on the interval ( 0 , 1 ) (meaning 1-x is also in this interval): when x x f ′ ( x ) f ′ ( x ) − f ′ ( 1 − x ) g ′ ( x ) So g ( x ) > 2 1 : > 1 − x > f ′ ( 1 − x ) > 0 > 0 is increasing on ( 2 1 , 1 ) when x x f ′ ( x ) f ′ ( x ) − f ′ ( 1 − x ) g ′ ( x ) So g ( x ) < 2 1 : < 1 − x < f ′ ( 1 − x ) < 0 < 0 is decreasing on ( 0 , 2 1 )
