Let $a$ and $b$ real numbers. Let $f:[a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a continuous function. We say that f is "smp" if $[a,b]=[c_0,c_1]\cup[c_1,c_2]...\cup[c_{n-1},c_n]$ satisfying $c_0<c_1...<c_n$ and for each $i\in\{0,1,2...n-1\}$: $c_i<x<c_{i+1} \Rightarrow f(c_i)<f(x)<f(c_{i+1})$ or $c_i>x>c_{i+1} \Rightarrow f(c_i)>f(x)>f(c_{i+1})$ Prove that if $f:[a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is continuous such that for each $v\in\mathbb{R}$ there are only finitely many $x$ satisfying $f(x)=v$, then $f$ is "smp".
