Prove the following are equivalent
Let $f$ be bounded on $[a,b]$ and integrable on $[c,b]$ for $a<c<b$. I need to prove the following are equivalent:
a) $limlimits_{xto a+}int_{x}^{b}f$ exists in $mathbb{R}$
b)$limlimits_{nto infty}int_{a_n}^{b}f$ exists in $mathbb{R}$ for a monotonically decreasing sequence $a_nto a$
c) $f$ is integrable on $[a,b]$.
I know I need to prove $aimplies b$, $bimplies c$, and $cimplies a$, but I don't even know where to get started. Definitions I have are patitions, darboux sums/ integrals and reimann integrals. I do not have improper integrals, the fundamental thm of calculus, nor integral MVT.

You can prove things in the order you suggest but this is not necessary. For example you can show equivalence of (a) and (c) (consider the partition $a,c,x_2,x_3,dots b $ ($c$ generic or as needed, number between $a,b $). This can be taken as a generic partition or particular, for particular chiloice of $c $. Now you can try and show that for every small $epsilon>0$, there a partition such that the difference of upper and lower sums is smaller than this (check precise statement of theorem). This should be possible using (a) and the hypothesis.

Well a) $implies $ b) is obvious from definition of limit. And a) also implies that $f$ is Riemann integrable on $[c, b] $ for all $cin(a, b) $. This along with boundedness of $f$ implies c). Same argument applies for b) $implies $ c). Further c) $implies $ a) is obvious.
