**Continuity and Sequences in Real Analysis**

**Problem 1:**

Suppose \( f \) is continuous on \( \mathbb{R} \) and \( f \) satisfies

\[ f(x) + f(2x) = 0 \]

for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). Prove that \( f = 0 \) on \( \mathbb{R} \).

**Problem 2:**

Suppose \( f \) is continuous on \([a, b]\) and there exists a sequence \(\{x_n\}\) in \([a, b]\) such that

\[ 0 \leq f(x_n) \leq \frac{1}{n} \]

for all \( n \in \mathbb{N} \). Prove that \( f(x_0) = 0 \) for some \( x_0 \in [a, b] \).
