Analysis 2- Riemann integrable functions

[perlawin]

1. If abs(f) is Riemann integrable on [a,b], then f is Riemann integrable on [a,b]. True or false (show work)



2. A function f is Riem Int iff f is bounded on [a,b], and for every epsilon>0 there is a partition P of [a,b] s.t. U(f,P)-L(f,P)<epsilon



3. I believe that this is true. So, what I want to do is show that f is bounded don [a,b], and I also want to show the second part of the definition. To show it was bounded, I used the fact that abs(f) was bounded and eventually got sup(abs(f))<=sup(f) and inf(f)>=-sup(abs(f)), which *I think* proved that f is bounded.

My question is how do I show that it fits the second part of the definition?

You can't show the second part. Because it isn't true. Try to find a counterexample.

I'm not sure what the question is and what's your answer. However the statement "if abs(f) is Riemann integrable on [a,b] then f is Riemann integrable on [a,b] isn't true."
