Exercise 7.5.6: Prove the following version of the intermediate value theorem. Let $(X, d)$ be a connected metric space and $f: X \to \mathbb{R}$ a continuous function. Suppose $x_0, x_1 \in X$ and $y \in \mathbb{R}$ are such that $f(x_0) < y < f(x_1)$. Then prove that there exists a $z \in X$ such that $f(z) = y$. Hint: See Exercise 7.5.5.
