Let
\begin{align}
f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1,\:\: 0\leq x\leq 1,\\
0,\:\:1
\end{align}
Prove that f is integrable on [0,2], and find the value of
∫20f(x)dx.
In order to show that f is integrable I think I need to use the following theorem:
The bounded function f is integrable on [a,b] if and only if for
every positive number ϵ there exists a partition P of [a,b]
such that |U(f,P)−L(f,P)|<ϵ.
The problem is that I'm not sure how to actually use this theorem to show it, I dont understand how I can find the value of the integral either, any tips solution? thanks!
Answer
This function is integrable by definition because
∫20f(x)dx=∫10dx+∫21+0dx=1.
