Introductory to honours level. A continuous function on the unit interval taking equal values at the endpoints takes equal values at some pair of points half a unit apart.

Statement

In the setting of Single-Variable Calculus on an Interval, let $[0,1]$ be the closed interval determined by $0$ and $1$ , and let $f:[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}$ be continuous on $[0,1]$ and satisfy

f(0)=f(1).

Problem. Show that there exists $c$ with $0\le c\le\tfrac12$ such that

f(c)=f\left(c+\tfrac12\right).
