Monotonicity of Composite Functions (Same Increase, Different Decrease)
Let y = f(u), u = g(x), composite function y = f[g(x)]. If f(u) and g(x) have the same monotonicity (both increasing or both decreasing), the composite functio…

Formula and explanation
Let y = f(u), u = g(x), composite function y = f[g(x)]. If f(u) and g(x) have the same monotonicity (both increasing or both decreasing), the composite function is monotonically increasing. If they have opposite monotonicity (one increasing, one decreasing), the composite function is monotonically decreasing.
