If $\{y_i\} \subset f([0,1])$ is increasing, there exists an monotonous $\{x_i\} \subset [0,1]$ such that $f(x_i)=y_i$?

Let $f \in C[0,1]$. If $\{y_i\} \subset f([0,1])$ is increasing, there exists an monotonous $\{x_i\} \subset [0,1]$ such that $f(x_i)=y_i$? Intuitively, from the function image, it is true. and how to prove that?

Prove that $\sup(aS)=a\sup (S)$

Let $S$ be a nonempty bounded set in $\mathbb{R}$ Let $a>0$ and let $aS=\{as: s\in \mathbb{R}\}$. Prove that $\sup(aS)=a\sup S$ I did my proof a different way then what the book did but I am not clear if my proof is still correct. The book proved…

Is it the correct change?

Calculate the integral : $\displaystyle\iint_D\sqrt{x-y}\;dxdy\;,$ where $\;D=\big\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^2\;\big|\; 1\leq y\leq4\;,\frac{4}{5}x\leq y\leq x\big\}\;.$ My attempt is : $\displaystyle\int_1^4\int_y^{\frac{5y}{4}}\sqrt{x-y}\;dxdy$ but I…

Double limit and repeated limit

If for a function a finite or infinite double limit $$ \lim\limits_{(x,y)\rightarrow(a,b)} f(x,y)$$ exists, and if for any $y \in Y$ there is a finite limit $$ \varphi(y) = \lim\limits_{x \rightarrow a}f(x,y) $$ then the repeated…

What will Implicit Function Theorem be if Jacobian determinant is zero?

Implicit Function Theorem says if $F_i(x_1,..,x_n,y_1,..,y_n)=0,(i=1..n)$, and $\det\left(\frac{\partial F_i}{\partial x_j}\right)\neq0$, then $x_i$ can be expressed in terms of $\{y_j\}$. If $\det\left(\frac{\partial F_i}{\partial x_j}\right)=0$,…

Maximum value of a Quadratic Function

I need help with the following problem: Find the maximum value of the quadratic function $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ on the interval $[0,1],$ where $|f(-1)| \leq 1, |f(0)| \leq 1, |f(1)| \leq 1.$ Thanks for all tips!

Debugging an analysis text

I'm having some problems understanding the following paragraph, which I read in a analysis script (hopefully I haven't made any translation errors): "A map $f:U \rightarrow Y$, where $U$ is open and $X,Y$ are Banach spaces, is continuous at $x' \in…

Dense Countable Subsets of the Unit Disk

Consider a countable dense subset A of the unit disk D in R. Is it true that the sum over elements of A vanishes? Intuitively if we choose a neighborhood U of a point x in D we may find points in A arbitrarily close to x. Similarly we may do this…

Asymptotics for an expression

I have a rather silly question, I guess. Suppose $(1+x)^{2y}\sim 1$ as $y\to\infty$. Does this imply $x\sim 1/y$ as $y\to\infty$?

Proof on showing $\frac{(b-a)}{2}(f(a) + f(b)) \leq \int_a^b f \leq (b-a) f(\frac{a+b}{2})$ for class $C^2$ function $f$

The task is as follows: Given: (a) function $f \in C^2$ (b) $f \geq 0$ and (c) $f'' \leq 0$ on $[a,b]$ Goal: Show $$\frac{(b-a)}{2}(f(a) + f(b)) \leq \int_a^b f \leq (b-a) f(\frac{a+b}{2})$$ To get an understanding of the problem, I tried…
