The Attempt at a Solution
Right now, I'm still trying to understand why the hint is true. This is what I've got so far...
Let ||f||∞= sup{|f(x)|: x E [a,b]}
[tex]M_i(f,P)[/tex] = sup{f(x): [tex]x_{i - 1}[/tex] ≤ x ≤ [tex]x_i[/tex]}
[tex]m_i(f,P)[/tex] = inf{f(x): [tex]x_{i - 1}[/tex] ≤ x ≤ [tex]x_i[/tex]} where P is a partition of [a,b]
Let x,t E [[tex]x_{i - 1}, x_i[/tex]]
Then |f(x)g(x)-f(t)g(t)| ≤ |f(x)| |g(x)-g(t)| + |f(x)-f(t)| |g(t)|
≤ ||f||∞ [[tex]M_i(g,P) - m_i(g,P)[/tex]] + [[tex]M_i(f,P) - m_i(f,P)[/tex]] ||g||∞
How can we finish proving the hint from here? I have no idea how to get Mi(fg, P) - mi(fg, P) on the LHS of the inequality...
I hope somebody can help me!
Any help is much appreciated!
