Let $a \in E$ and let $U$ be an open set of $E$ containing $a$. Let $f : U \rightarrow E$ be an application of class $\mathscr{C}^1$ on $U$ such that $df(a) = \operatorname{Id}_E$. We fix a real number $r > 0$ such that $\overline{B(a,r)} \subset U$ and
$$\forall x_1, x_2 \in \overline{B(a,r)}, \quad \left\|f(x_1) - f(x_2)\right\| \geqslant \frac{1}{2} \left\|x_1 - x_2\right\|.$$
Show that for all $x \in B(a,r)$, the linear map $df(x)$ is injective.
