![**Exercise 6:**
Show that if \( f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is continuous and \( f(x) = 0 \) for every rational number \( x \), then \( f(x) = 0 \) for all \( x \).
**Exercise 7:**
Suppose that the function \( f : [a, b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is continuous. For any natural number \( k \), let \( x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_k \) be points in \([a, b]\). Prove that there is a point \( z \) in \([a, b]\) such that
\[
f(z) = \frac{f(x_1) + \ldots + f(x_k)}{k}.
