Show $sup_{xin[0,1]} | x -f(x)|geq frac{1}{2}$ for any $f$ with $f(0)=0$ and $int^1_0 f(t)dt=0$. [closed]
$begingroup$
Let $f:[0,1]to mathbb R$ be a continuous function with $f(0)=0$ and $int^1_0 f(t)dt=0$.
I need to show that $$sup_{xin[0,1]} | x -f(x)|geq frac{1}{2}$$
I'm not sure how to approach this problem. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Suppose instead that $lvert x - f(x) rvert < 1/2$ for all $x in [0,1]$. Then we see that $$frac 1 2 = left lvert int^1_0 (x-f(x)) dxright rvert le int^1_0 lvert x - f(x)rvert dx < int^1_0 frac 1 2 dx = frac 1 2,$$ a contradiction. Thus we must have $lvert x - f(x) rvert ge 1/2$ for some $x in [0,1]$ and the conclusion follows.
Unless I've made a mistake, it seems the assumption that $f(0) = 0$ is unnecessary.
