finite set A = {x1 , x2 , , xm } [a, b]. If is continuous on A, prove that a f d = 0.
Show that the result is not true if is not continuous on A. (Hint: consider first the
case when m = 1)
2. Let f be a bounded function on [a, b] and let c (a, b). Assume (x) = 0 for x < c
and (x) = 1 for x > c. Find condition on f so that f R() on [a, b] if

5. Assume that f : [a, b] R is integrable and that f (x) m > 0 for x [a, b]. Show
that g := 1/f is integrable on [a, b]. (Hint: What is the maximum and minimum of g
