Problem Statement

Suppose that f:RR{f: \Bbb{R} \rightarrow \Bbb{R}} is an additive function ((that is f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y){f(x+y) = f(x)+f(y)} for all x,yR){x, y \in \Bbb{R}}) for which xf(x)f(1x2){x \mapsto f(x)f(\sqrt{1-x^2})} is bounded of some nonempty subinterval of (0,1){(0,1)}. Prove that f{f} is continuous.
