Proving Boundedness of Operator T in L^p(-2,2)

[dikmikkel]

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.
