Continuous image of a closed interval is a closed interval

Builds on Intermediate value theoremExtreme value theorem

Statement

Let a≤ba \le b and let f ⁣:[a,b]→ℝf \colon [a, b] \to \mathbb{R} be continuous. Then f([a,b])=[m,M]f([a, b]) = [m, M], where mm and MM are the minimum and the maximum of ff on [a,b][a, b].

Remarks

The extreme value theorem gives mm and MM as values of ff. The intermediate value theorem gives all values in between. The image can be a single point, when ff is constant. Mathlib states it as ContinuousOn.image_Icc.
