NMC 2000 Problem 4

  • Answer

The real-valued function ff is defined for 0≤x≤1,f(0)=0,f(1)=10 \leq x \leq 1, f(0)=0, f(1)=1, and

12≤f(z)−f(y)f(y)−f(x)≤2\frac{1}{2} \leq \frac{f(z)-f(y)}{f(y)-f(x)} \leq 2

for all 0≤x<y<z≤10 \leq x<y<z \leq 1 with z−y=y−xz-y=y-x. Prove that

17≤f(13)≤47\frac{1}{7} \leq f\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \leq \frac{4}{7}
