A subset E of X is called convex if, for any ##x,y \in E## and ##t \in (0,1)## then ##(1-t)x + ty \in E##.
So by the inequality I wrote since ##\alpha f(x) + (1-\alpha)f(y)## is contained in the set it is convex?
Homework Statement

Let X be a vector space over ##\mathbb{R}## and ## f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R} ## be a convex function and ##g: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}## be a concave function. Show: The set {##x \in X: f(x) \leq g(x)##} is convex.

Okay, I take from this because \sqrt{x_1}= \sqrt{x_2}, \sqrt{x_1}^2= \sqrt{x_2}^2, so x1=x2. So this function is one to one because I can prove that . Correct?

Can I set each side equal to each other or should I solve for y^2 of the circle equation to plug into the ellipse equation.
I know this problem is emulative of https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/optimization-minimize-area-of-an-ellipse-enclosing-a-circle.270437/ this one however I am just getting into multivariable differentiation so this is very confusing to me.
