Homework Statement


Find the integral of the function f(x)=3 when x is rational and 2 when x is irrational on the interval [0,1].

The Attempt at a Solution


So I partition [0,1] into two disjoint sets A and B. A=[0,1] \cap Q and B=[0,1] \cap Q^{c}.
Now the integral should be equal to 3 length(A) + 2 length(B). Since A is a countable set then its measure is zero. But I do not understand how to calculate the measure of B since it is uncountable.

But you know what the measure of [0,1] is...
 
Thanks for the hint. So 1=len([0,1])=len(A)+len(B)=len(B).
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
