# Integral and continuous function [closed]

Let $f:[0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function. Supose that $$\int_{0}^{1}x^{n}f(x)dx=0$$

$\forall n=0,1,2,...$. Proof that $f(x)=0$.

• Prove that for any polynomial $P$: $$\int_0^1P(x)f(x)dx=0$$
• and finally use the fact that if (since $f$ is continuous) $$\int_0^1f^2(x)dx=0$$ then $f$ is the zero function.
