(a) What does it mean for a function f:[a,b]→R to be Riemann integrable?
(b) Let f:[0,1]→R be a bounded function. Suppose that for every δ>0 there is a sequence
0⩽a1<b1⩽a2<b2⩽…⩽an<bn⩽1
such that for each i the function f is Riemann integrable on the closed interval [ai,bi], and such that ∑i=1n(bi−ai)⩾1−δ. Prove that f is Riemann integrable on [0,1].
(c) Let f:[0,1]→R be defined as follows. We set f(x)=1 if x has an infinite decimal expansion that consists of 2 s and 7 s only, and otherwise we set f(x)=0. Prove that f is Riemann integrable and determine ∫01f(x)dx.
