Exercise 7.6.13

Show that if

f

and

g

are integralbe on

[ a , b ]

, then so is the product

fg

. Show that if

g

is integrable on

[ a , b ]

and

f

is continuous on the range of

g

, then the composition

f g

is integrable on

[ a , b ]

.

Answers

(a)
The set of discontinuities of fg is the union of the set of discontinuities of f and that of g . Since f and g are both integrable, these are both sets with measure zero, and hence their union is also measure zero; thus fg is integrable.
(b)
Since f is continuous, f g and g share the same sets of discontinuity; therefore g is integrable implies f g is integrable.
