If $f \in L(0,1)$ show that $x^{n} f(x) \in L(0,1)$ for $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and that $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1} x^{n} f(x) dx \rightarrow 0$ as $n \to \infty$.

Is the following attempt correct?

Since $0 then $0 also $x^{n}$ is measurable (being cts) and $f$ is measurable because it is in $L(0,1)$ so $x^{n} f(x)$ is measurable. Now certainly $|x^{n}f(x)| \leq |f(x)|$ so this implies that $x^{n} f(x)$ is integrable so in $L(0,1)$.

Now to finish the second part can we simply say that:

$x^{n} f(x) \rightarrow 0$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$ pointwise so we may apply convergence theorem.

    I think $L(0,1)$ stands for set of all *Lebesgue integrable* functions on $(0,1)$.2010-11-19

    @Chandru, yes. The vector space of all measurable and integrable functions with respect the seminorm $||f||_{1} = \int_{X} |f| d\mu$, i.e $L^{1}(0,1)$.2010-11-19
