Let f:[a,b]→R be a bounded function defined on the closed, bounded interval [a,b] of R. Suppose that for every ε>0 there is a dissection D of [a,b] such that SD(f)−sD(f)<ε, where sD(f) and SD(f) denote the lower and upper Riemann sums of f for the dissection D. Deduce that f is Riemann integrable. [You may assume without proof that sD(f)⩽SD′(f) for all dissections D and D′ of [a,b].]
Prove that if f:[a,b]→R is continuous, then f is Riemann integrable.
Let g:(0,1]→R be a bounded continuous function. Show that for any λ∈R, the function f:[0,1]→R defined by
f(x)={g(x)λ if 0<x⩽1 if x=0
is Riemann integrable.
Let f:[a,b]→R be a differentiable function with one-sided derivatives at the endpoints. Suppose that the derivative f′ is (bounded and) Riemann integrable. Show that
∫abf′(x)dx=f(b)−f(a)
[You may use the Mean Value Theorem without proof.]
