Mar 30, 2011 at 13:48 comment added Andreas Blass @Michael: You don't know that such a neighborhood N contains only one turning point, but you do know that at most one point attains the maximum of f in N and at most one attains the minimum of f in N. Any other turning points, even if they're in N, will have had other neighborhoods N' assigned to them --- neighborhoods in which they achieve the maximum or minimum value of f.
Mar 30, 2011 at 13:13 comment added Michael Renardy I do not follow this argument. You can choose the neighborhoods to be rational intervals, but how do you know that such a neighborhood contains only one turning point?

Mar 30, 2011 at 12:43 comment added Kate Thanks, I will check that out. I realized this when I defined turning points more precisely. Thanks for helping despite the problem not being quite up to scratch!
