Limit of an integral

The following exercise is just an alternative of IMC 2017/2/1 problem. It is quite easy but it's not a bad idea to have it here as well.

Given the continuous function $f:[0, +\infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow +\infty} x^2 f(x) = 1$ prove that

$$\lim_{n \rightarrow +\infty} \int_0^1 f(n x)\, {\rm d}x =0$$

Since $\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow +\infty} f(x) =0$ the result follows immediately by making the change of variables $u=nx$ . :)
