Given a function $f:mathbbRtomathbbR$ differentiable and strictly decreasing such that $displaystyle lim_xtoinftyf(x)=0$, I am looking to find out whether or not there exists an $x_0$ such that $f$ is convex on $(x_0,infty)$. My guess is that the statement is not true but I can't find a counterexample.

Edit: added additional term to make the function actually decreasing. The idea remains the same.
Consider something like $$frac1x + fracsin(x)x^2+ frac4 sin^2(x/2)x^3.$$ Notice how it keeps wiggling all the way down. Here is its graph from $100$ to $120$ to give an impression.

@martycohen if it is not, you can replace it with something simple on the "prefix" e.g if x > 100, it's this function, and if x < 100 it's just linear (with coefficients to make it continious and differentiable
