It is a commonplace that F is continuous on the cartesian square of the range of f if f is continuous and satisfies 1 say, for all real x, y (cf. e.g. [2]). A.D. Wallace has kindly called my attention to the fact, that this is trivial only if f is (constant or) strictly monotonic and asked for a simple proof of the strict monotonicity of f. The following could serve as such: if on an interval f is continuous, nonconstant and satisfies (1), then f is strictly monotonic there.
