Assertion/reason

A : If P(x) is a polynomial of even degree with positive
leading coefficient and P(x)-P''(x)≥0 for all xεR then P(x)≥0for all xεR

R :lim P(x)= lim P(x)=+∞
x→∞ x→-∞
and min {P(x)} is finite number and at local minima P''(x)≥0.

The reasoning seems to be true...

because at the point of local minima, P''(x)>=0

so the minimum value of P(x) will be at that point where we have P(x)-P''(x)>=0

so P(x)>=P''(x)

which is in turn greater than equal to zero...

hence P(x)>=0 at the point of minima.. and hence at all points
