Let ff be a function from the set of real numbers R\mathbb{R} into itself such for all x∈R,x \in \mathbb{R}, we have ∣f(x)∣≤1|f(x)| \leq 1 and

f(x+1342)+f(x)=f(x+16)+f(x+17).f \left( x + \frac{13}{42} \right) + f(x) = f \left( x + \frac{1}{6} \right) + f \left( x + \frac{1}{7} \right).

Prove that ff is a periodic function (that is, there exists a non-zero real number cc such f(x+c)=f(x)f(x+c) = f(x) for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R} ).
