Homework Statement



As part of a larger proof, I'm trying to show that ||fn|| --> ||f|| implies <fn> --> f in Lp, where <fn> is a sequence of functions in Lp, 1≤p<∞, which converge a.e. to a function f in Lp.

Homework Equations



||f|| = (∫|f|p)1/p.

The Attempt at a Solution



There's some string of inequalities I need to obtain ||f-fn||≤|||f||-||fn|||<∂. Any ideas?

Genius!
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
