Homework Statement


Let X=(C([0,1]), || . ||_1 ), where ||f||_1=\int_{0}^{1}|f(t)|dt.
Let M=\{f \in C([0,1]) : \int_{0}^{1}f(t)dt=2, f(1)=0\}.
Is M closed in X?

The Attempt at a Solution



I've tried the following:
Let f_n be a sequence in M such that f_n \rightarrow f.
I'm checking whether f \in M, because that would prove that M is closed (if a set contains all the limits of its convergent sequences, it is closed).
There are obviously two conditions to check.
The first one:
\int_{0}^{1}f(t)dt=\int_{0}^{1}limf_n(t)dt=lim\int_{0}^{1}f_n(t)dt=lim 2=2.
Now I have to check the second one, that is, is f(1)=0, and I don't know how.

Any help is much appreciated.

If f_n(1)= 0 and f_n\rightarrow f, then... (What kind of convergence are you talking about? Pointwise? Uniform? In the norm?)

And is your justification for saying
\int_0^1 limf_n(t)dt= lim\int_0^1 f_n(t)dt?

In the norm.

\int_0^1 limf_n(t)dt= lim\int_0^1 f_n(t)dt?

My justification would be that f_n are continuous functions, so integral and limit commute.
 
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...
