Show that $f$ is integrable with respect to the Lebesgue measure












0












$begingroup$


Let $alpha gt 0 forall alpha inmathbb{R}$, $f_{alpha}:]0,infty[tomathbb{R}$, $xmapsto e^{-alpha x}left(frac{sin(x)}{x}right)^3$. The goal ist to show that $f_{alpha}$ is integrable with respect to the Lebesgue-measure, which coincides with the Borel measure in this case. I already showed that $f_{alpha}$ is measurable and know that the condition for $f_{alpha}$ being integrable is that $$int_Xlvert{f(x)}rvertmathrm{d}lambdaltinfty$$ with $X=]0,infty[$. Since I am fairly new to this topic, I don't know where to start. I struggle to write out the integral since it can attain negative values and lack a general strategy for exercises like this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I guess it would be helpful to split the integral in two parts and then write it down explicitly and then to hope that the sum of my $lambda$-measures somehow converges?

$frac {sin, x} x$ is abounded function on $(0,infty)$. If $|frac {sin, x} x| leq M$ then $int_0^{infty} |f_{alpha} (x)| , dx leq M^{3}int_0^{infty} e^{-alpha x}, dx =frac {M^{3}} {alpha}$. [ Boundedness of $frac {sin, x} x$ is a consequence of the following facts: this function is continuous, it approaches $1$ as $ xto 0$ and approaches $0$ as $x to infty$].

    Thanks. Problem is, we didn't cover $int_0^infty e^{-alpha x}dx=frac{1}{alpha}$. I just need to show that $int_0^infty e^{-alpha x}dlambda$ is integrable then, any advice on that? Obviously it is decreasing, but I don't see where that might help.
