Question
Let $ f(x) = 0 $ if $ x $ is any rational number and $ f(x) = 1 $ if $ x $ is any irrational number. Show that $ f $ is not integrable on $ [0, 1] $.
Step 1
This is due to the density of rational and irrational numbers in the real number line. Show more…

Integrals
The Definite Integral
Define f : [0, 1] → R by f(x) = 1, if x is rational, 0, if x is irrational. Prove that f is not integrable.
Prove that f is defined as f(x) =x. When x is rational. =-x. When x is irrational. Is not integrable on [a,b] but |f| is integrable
