Let $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ be compact. Prove that the following two statements are equivalent to each other. (a) For each point $x$ of $K$ we can assign an uncountable set $F_x\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ such that $$\mathrm{dist}(F_x, F_y)\ge |x-y|$$ holds for all $x,y\in K$; (b) $K$ is of measure zero.

Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are two metric spaces and $f:X \longrightarrow Y$ is a continious function. Also for every compact set $K \subseteq Y$, it's pre-image $f^{pre}(K)$ is a compact set in $X$.

Let $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function with the following property: for all $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}_{>0}$, the sequence $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ defined as $a_n = f(n\alpha)$ satisfies $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = 0$. Is it necessarily true that $\lim_{x \to +\infty} f(x) = 0$?
