For A : [0,1] → R real-valued monotone decreasing function on [0,1] satisfying A(l)=0tA(t)→ 0 ast→0+ andtA′(t)/(l−t2) increasing on (0,1), we show thatMA(f) ≥ 0forfclose-to-convex whereThis is analogous to a recent result of Fournier and Ruscheweyh [2]. Analogously we obtain least value ofβso that forganalytic in, the functionsandare convex. Here2F1is the Gaussian hypergeometric function. These results are extended to convexity and order of convexity of convex combinations of the formρz +(1−ρ)F(z)ρ< 1. Corresponding starlikeness results in [2] are also extended to such convex combinations.
