I wish to know if the following is true:
Let $f : [alpha, beta]to mathbb R$ be a function so that
$$ lim_xto x_0 f(x) = 0$$
for all $x_0 in [alpha, beta]$. Then $f(x) = 0$ for some $xin [alpha, beta]$.
The Thomae's function $f: [0,1]to mathbb R$
$$f(x) =begincases 1/q & textif x= p/qin mathbb Q, \ 0 & textotherwise.endcases$$
leads me to the above question. The Thomae function has limit zero everywhere, althought it is nonzero in $mathbb Q$. I think I can take any countable dense subset $Dsubset [alpha, beta]$ and construct a function which is nonzero in $D$ but limit equals zero everywhere. But I can't think of a function that is nonzero everywhere but has zero limit everywhere.

The number of points $xin[alpha,beta]$ at which $|f(x)|>1/n$, for a fixed $ninmathbbN$, has to be finite. Otherwise, since the interval is compact, they accumulate somewhere and at that point the limit wouldn't be zero.
Therefore, the points $xin[alpha,beta]$ at which $|f(x)|neq0$ is countable, but $[alpha,beta]$ isn't (unless $alpha=beta$ but that case follows directly).
