Calculate the Lebesgue integral of,

$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_{[0,1]}\frac{n\sqrt{x}}{1+n^2x^2}$$

I know I should use the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem but what should be the dominating function? Can anyone give me a hint?

By AM-GM inequality: $\dfrac{n\sqrt{x}}{1 + n^2x^2} \leq \dfrac{n\sqrt{x}}{2nx} = \dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$. The dominating function is: $g(x) = \dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$

  • $\begingroup$ But why is $g$ integrable on [0,1]? It is discontinuous at 0 right? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ only at 1 point won't affect the answer, plus you integrate g it is finite. check it. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ x=0 is an integrable singularity. Note that the primitive of 1/√x is √x. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Is it because $g$ is continuous almost everywhere so it is Riemann integrable? And we haven't studied integrable singularities. $\endgroup$
