Problem Statement

Let f:RRf:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} a function such that f(a+b2){f(a),f(b)}, ()a,bRf\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)\in \{f(a),f(b)\},\ (\forall)a,b\in \mathbb{R}.
a) Give an example of a non-constant function that satisfy the hypothesis.
b)If ff is continuous, prove that ff is constant.
