Homework Statement
I have to prove that if a function is bounded for x between (0,1) and f(x) is bounded also between (0,1) and f(x) is continuos that there exists some x such that f(x)=x
Homework Equations
Intermediate value theorem?
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that this problem makes intuitive sense, and I've drawn out bounds, and I know obviously, that this statement will hold true, and the proof probably involves the intermediate theorem law, but I am just not sure how to construct my proof for it. Can I just say that for f(0)<x<f(1) then x=f(x) for some x (and repeat the same thing for my other two cases, when f(1)>f(0) and f(1)=f(0))?
Any help would be great
