2. limx→c f (x) does not exists for any 0 < c ̸= 2 .
(a) Let f, g : R → R be continuous such that given any two points x1 < x2 , there exists a point x3 such that
x1 < x3 < x2 such that f (x3 ) = g(x3 ). Show that f (x) = g(x) for all x ∈ R.
(b) Let f : R → R be a continuous function such that f (x) = f (x2 ) for all x ∈ R. Show that f is a constant
function.
(c) Suppose f : [0, ∞) → R is continuous and limx→∞ f (x) exists. Show that f is bounded on [0, ∞).
(d) Let f : [0, 1] → R be continuous such that f (0) = f (1). Show that there exists x0 ∈ [0, 21 ] such that
f (x0 ) = f (x0 + 12 ).
(e) Let f : [0, 2] → R be a continuous function and f (0) = f (2). Prove that there exist real numbers x1 , x2
in [0, 2] such that x2 − x1 = 1 and f (x2 ) = f (x1 ).
(f) Let I := [a, b] and f : I → R be a continuous function on I such that for each x ∈ I there exists a y ∈ I
such that

|f (y)| ≤ |f (x)|.

Prove that there exists a point c ∈ I such that f (c) = 0.
(g) Let f : [0, 1] → R is a continuous function such that Range(f ) ⊂ Q. Prove f is a constant function.
