Question: Consider the following function: f(x) 5x1 2x2 2 x2 3 3x3x4 4x2 4 2x4 5 x2 5

Consider the following function:

f(x)  5x1  2x2 2  x2 3  3x3x4  4x2 4  2x4 5  x2 5

 3x5x6  6x2 6  3x6x7  x2 7.

Show that f(x) is convex by expressing it as a sum of functions of one or two variables and then showing (see Appendix 2) that all these functions are convex.
