general mathematical doubt

Правка en5, от _jarvis_, 2016-07-08 19:06:52

I was solving a problem on spoj, the solution of that problem requires the assumtion that,

if we add the absolute value of 2 or more linear equation in x ( eg. f(x)=|5x-8| + |7x-1| + |12x-13| ) then it necessary that f(x) (note:here f(x) denotes the sum of those terms) would be montonically increasing as we go way from the optimal value of x (note: optimal value of x is the value at which f(x) is minimum) .

Just wanted to confirm if that statement is true or not?
