Homework Statement
f is riemann integrable on [a,b]-> reals
If f has zero content, f>= 0, S= {(x,y): x is in [a,b], 0<=y<=f(x)},
show S is measurable
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
so the border of S = x=a[tex]\cup[/tex]x=b[tex]\cup[/tex]f(x)[tex]\cup[/tex]y=0
then since f has zero content, I'm just wondering how should I show that the lines all have zero content as well? Should I use rectangles that cover all the lines and then show somehow that the border of S is contained in the union of the rectangles, and the sum of their areas is less than [tex]\epsilon[/tex]?
How do I define the rectangles, and their lengths?
