Homework Statement


The operator T maps from L^p(-2,2)\rightarrow L^p(-2,2) is defined (Tf)(x) = f(x) x
Show that the operator maps from L^p(-2,2) into the same.

Homework Equations


p is a natural from 1 to infinity.
Holders inequality
Substitution integrals

The Attempt at a Solution


I look at the following integral
\int\limits_{-2}^{2} |f(x)x|^pdx = \int\limits_{-2}^{2}|f(x)x|^{p-1}|f(x)x|dx\leq<br /> \int\limits_{-2}^{2} |f(x)x|^{p-1}\left[\left(\int\limits_{-2}^{2}|f(x)|^rdx\right)^{1/r}\left(\int\limits_{-2}^{2}|x|^qdx\right)^{1/q}\right] = \\<br /> ||f(x)||_p\int\limits_{-2}^{2} |f(x)x|^{p-1}\left[\left(\int\limits_{-2}^{2}|x|^qdx\right)^{1/q}\right]
And here I am stuck
Edit: maybe a substitution would do? I really need a hint.

I don't think you need anything fancy here: just notice that |x|<=2.
 
You are right :) i made it. Tnx
 
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...
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...
