Homework Statement



If for each \epsilon>0 , there is ameasurable subset E1 of E that has
finite measure and a \delta>0 such that for each measurable
subset A of E and index n
if m(A\capE1) < \delta , then
\int | fn| <\epsilon ( integration over A)
Show that {fn} is tight

Can you define "tight"?
 
A family F of measurable functions is tight on E if there is a measurable subset E1 of finite measure such that integration of |fn| on ( E-E1) is less than epsilon for each fn in F
 
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...
