Greetings, i found an interesting exercise from my perspective, it's not about HW, i just want to see different approaches than the Greek math forum i posted yesterday, so we have:
If $$ f $$ is a function, then a chord is a straight portion whose edges belong to $$ C_f $$
f is a continuous function. its domain is $$ [0,1] $$ and $$ f(0)=f(1)=0 $$
A) Prove that a chord with length $$ \tfrac{1}{2} $$ exists
B) Prove that a chord with length $$ \tfrac{1}{n} $$ exists where n=1,2,3..
ps: (sorry for the ugly latex appearance), i also think that A) question is a result of B)
