    Maltitudes, Circumcircles and Circumcenters

    For any quadrilateral one can define the so-called maltitudes. A maltitude on a side of a quadrilateral is defined as the line through the midpoint of the side and perpendicular to the opposite side. Generally the four maltitudes of a quadrilateral are not concurrent, but if the quadrilateral is cyclic they are. Prove that i

    Extreme Value Theorem

    (Extreme Value Theorem) prove if f:K->R is continuous on a compact set K subset or equal to R, then f attains a maximum and minimum value.In other words there exists Xo,X1 belong to K such that f(Xo)<=f(X)<=f(X1) for all X belong to K.
