$f(x_0)=0 forall f in X^*$ ($X^*$ is topological dual) then $x_0=0$.
$begingroup$
Let X be a normed vector space of infinite dimension (possibly) and $x_0 in X$.
I would like to show that if $f(x_0)=0 forall f in X^*$ (the topological dual) then $x_0=0$.
I asked this question here but I forgot to mention that the functions were in the topological dual and not the algebraic dual, so I had an explanation for why this is true in the case of algebraic dual which was still very interesting.
The suggestion for when $f$ are in the topological dual was to use Hahn-Banach theorem. I have the version that says that a functional of $Y^*$ (where $Y$ is a subspace of $X$) can be extended to a functional of $X^*$ (again here we consider topological duals). But here I am not sure how this helps me. What should I consider for the subspace $Y$?

This is in whatever book you learned the H-B theorem from. Assume $x_0ne0$. Let $Y$ be the span of $x_0$. Take $Lambdain Y^*$ with $Lambda(x_0)ne0$, for example define $Lambda(cx_0)=c$.

If $x_0$ is not the zero vector then consider the functional $f$
which is defined on the space that $x_0$ spans as follows:
$f(a x_0)=a|x_0|$.
It follows from the Hahn-Banach theorem that there is a functional $Fin X^*$ with $F(x)=f(x) forall xin text{span}(x_0)$ and of course $F(x_0)$ is not equal to $0$.
