Here's this week's problem!

-----

Problem: Let $J$ denote the Jacobian matrix. Show that if $f$ has continuous second-order partial derivatives and $\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{x}) = (Jf(\mathbf{x}))^T$, then $J\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{x})$ is a symmetric matrix.

No one answered this week's problem. Due to recent events, I've been pretty swamped with work/GRE prep (taking the exam next Saturday, 10/13); hence, I don't have a solution ready at this time. I'll update this post with one sometime this week.
