1. Which of the following functions defined over the interval [0, 1] are Riemann
integrable:

(a) The characteristic function of the set {0, 1/10, 2/10, 3/10, . . . , 9/10, 1}.
sin x if x = n1 for some n ∈ N

(b) f (x) = .
cos x otherwise
if x = pq where p and q are coprime to each other

(c) f (x) = q .
0 if x is an irrational

2 if 2−n−1 < x ≤ 2−n for n ∈ N ∪ {0}
(d) f (x) = .
0 if x = 0

2. (a) Let f : [a, b] → R be Riemann integrable. Let a ≤ c < d ≤ b. Show that

is Riemann integrable over [a, b] if and only if f |[a,c] is Riemann integrable

(b) If f and g are Riemann integrable then so are f + g and f g.

(c) If f : [a, b] → [c, d] and g : [c, d] → R are Riemann integrable then so is g ◦ f.

(a) Show that fn is Riemann integrable for each n.

(b) Define f : [0, 1] → R as

8. For each n ∈ N, let fn : [0, 1] → R be defined as fn (x) = nχ(0,1/n) .
