How can I prove that a differentiable pseudoconvex function is also quasiconvex?
$begingroup$
How can I prove that a differentiable pseudoconvex function is also quasiconvex? Is it possible to do it simply using the definition of pseudoconvexity?
Thanks.

I apologize, I didn't want to break any of the site's rules, the problem is I don't know where to start actually. I tried using the definition of pseudoconvexity but I didn't get anywhere, then I tried to use the Taylor series of $f[(1-t)f(x)-tf(y)]$ trying to minimazing it using again the definition of pseudoconvexity but again nothing. I don't ask for a full execution, a hint for where to start or an idea of the proof is fine. Thank you.
