If \(g(x):=x\) for \(|x| \geq 1\) and \(g(x):=-x\) for \(|x|<1\) and if \(G(x):=\frac{1}{2}\left|x^{2}-1\right|\), show that \(\int_{-2}^{3} g(x) d x=G(3)-G(-2)=5 / 2\)
If \(g \in \mathcal{R}[a, b]\) and if \(f(x)=g(x)\) except for a finite number of points in \([a, b]\), prove that \(f \in \mathcal{R}[a, b]\) and that \(\int_{a}^{b} f=\int_{a}^{b} g\)
If \(f\) is bounded by \(M\) on \([a, b]\) and if the restriction of \(f\) to every interval \([c, b]\) where \(c \in(a, b)\) is Riemann integrable, show that \(f \in \mathcal{R}[a, b]\) and that \(\int_{c}^{b} f \rightarrow \int_{a}^{b} f\) as \(c \rightarrow a+\). [Hint: Let \(\alpha_{c}(x):=-M\) and \(\omega_{c}(x):=M\) for \(x \in[a, c)\) and \(\alpha_{c}(x):=\omega_{c}(x):=f(x)\) for \(x \in[c, b]\). Apply the Squeeze Theorem \(7.2 .3\) for \(c\) sufficiently near \(a\).]
Let \(f, g \in \mathcal{R}[a, b\\}\) (a) If \(t \in \mathbb{R}\), show that \(\int_{a}^{b}(t f \pm g)^{2} \geq 0\). (b) Use (a) to show that \(2\left|\int_{a}^{b} f g\right| \leq t \int_{a}^{b} f^{2}+(1 / t) \int_{a}^{b} g^{2}\) for \(t>0\). (c) If \(\int_{a}^{b} f^{2}=0\), show that \(\int_{a}^{b} f g=0\). (d) Now prove that \(\left|\int_{a}^{b} f g\right|^{2} \leq\left(\int_{a}^{b}|f g|\right)^{2} \leq\left(\int_{a}^{b} f^{2}\right) \cdot\left(\int_{a}^{b} g^{2}\right) .\) This inequality is called the Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz Inequality (or simply the Schwarz Inequality).
