# proving integrability and inequality [closed]

I'm having a problem and can't solve those 2 for hours. help me if you can please.

1)let $f(x) \leq g(x) \le h(x)$ be bounded functions in [a,b] for every $x \in [a,b]$. assuming that f(x) and h(x) are integrable in [a,b] and $\int _a ^b f(x)dx = \int _a ^b h(x)dx$, prove that g(x) is also integrable in [a,b]. (i tried to show using Riemann-Lebesgue Theorem that g(x) is also integrable based on the fact that it is bounded, but i don't know how to show its continuous to prove integrability. using the mean value thorem and deducting from f(x),h(x) being integrable. don't know how to mathmatically write a proof for that)

2)$\int _\frac{\pi}{4} ^\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{sinx}{x^2}dx \le \frac{2}{\pi}$ ( i tried many methods and even tried to calculate it by fractoring it to $\frac{sinx}{x} * \frac{1}{x}$, but no matter how much i tried i couldn't find a way to solve it between $\frac {\pi}{4} and \frac {\pi}{2}$

hoping you can help solve those two. i'm lost.

• Btw, you got answers to most of your (currently) 42 questions, but accepted only one (1) answer so far. Did none of the other answers help, or did you just forget to accept answers? – Martin R Nov 2 '17 at 8:00
• Subtracting $f$ from each of the functions we can assume that $f=0$ identically and $g, h$ are non-negative. Now use the criterion of integrability based on difference of upper and lower Darboux sums. – Paramanand Singh Nov 2 '17 at 8:07
• Martin i don't know how to do so. i am not familar with the interface. didn't do so on purpose – BeginningMath Nov 2 '17 at 14:40

Since $\sin{x} \leqslant 1,$ $$\int_\frac{\pi}{4} ^\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{\sin x}{x^2}dx \leqslant 1 \cdot \int_\frac{\pi}{4} ^\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{dx}{x^2} = \frac{2}{\pi}.$$ The better estimate can be obtained using the inequality $\sin{x}\leqslant x$ for $x > 0:$ $$\int_\frac{\pi}{4} ^\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{\sin x}{x^2}dx \leqslant \int_\frac{\pi}{4} ^\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{dx}{x} = \ln{\frac{\pi}{2} } - \ln{\frac{\pi}{4} } = \ln{2} < \frac{2}{\pi}.$$
