Lebesgue Integral on a set of measure zero

I need to show that if $f$ is an integrable function on $X$ and $\mu(E)=0 ,\ E\subset X$; then $\int _E f(x) d\mu(x)=0$ .

In my attempts I've showed that $\forall \epsilon > 0 \ \ \exists \delta>0 :$ if $\mu(E)<\delta,\ E\subset X$ then $\int _E |f(x)| d\mu(x)<\epsilon$

Then how can I conclude $\int _E f(x) d\mu(x)=0$ ?

Show that you can bound the integral by $1/n$ for all $n$, or something else that goes to $0$ as $n\to\infty$. For each $n$, you will get a $\delta_n>0$. But $\mu(E) = 0$ implies that $\mu(E) < \delta_n$ for all $n$. You should be careful with this, but this is in the same direction as what Alex suggests below. –  John Martin Oct 31 '12 at 3:48
Another way is by using that for $f$ nonnegative $\int_E f=\mu(\{(x,y):x\in E\text{ and } 0\leq y\leq f(x)\})$ –  leo Oct 31 '12 at 5:10

You've shown that for any $\epsilon>0$, you can find a delta such that $\mu(E)<\delta$ implies $\int_E|f(x)|d\mu<\epsilon$. You are given $\mu(E)=0$, so just show that you can take $\epsilon$ arbitrarily small.
