Mixing
A bounded function with one point of discontinuity is Riemann integrable
$begingroup$
The lemma states: Assume $f$ is bounded on $[a,b]$ and continuous on $[a,b]$ except at $a$. Then $f$ is integrable on $[a,b]$.
I am really stuck on this one. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks!

Let $epsilon > 0$ be given. Now, our problem is at $a$, so we could like to isolate $a$. Choose $x_0 = a$ and $x_1$ close enough to $a$ so that $$(max_{[x_0,x_1]}f(x)-min_{[x_0,x_1]}f(x))(x_1 - x_0) < frac{epsilon}{2}.$$ I'll let you fill in the details of why this is possible, but you must use boundedness of $f$. Now, $f$ is continuous on the interval $[x_1,b]$ hence integrable, and so we can find a partition ${y_i}$ of that interval so that $$sum_{i=1}^n (max_{[y_i,y_{i+1}]}f(x)-min_{[y_i,y_{i+1}]}f(x))(x_1 - x_0) < frac{epsilon}{2}.$$ How can we combine this partition with $x_0,x_1$?

Let $epsilon > 0$ be given. Now, our problem is at $a$, so we could like to isolate $a$. Choose $x_0 = a$ and $x_1$ close enough to $a$ so that $$(max_{[x_0,x_1]}f(x)-min_{[x_0,x_1]}f(x))(x_1 - x_0) < frac{epsilon}{2}.$$ I'll let you fill in the details of why this is possible, but you must use boundedness of $f$. Now, $f$ is continuous on the interval $[x_1,b]$ hence integrable, and so we can find a partition ${y_i}$ of that interval so that $$sum_{i=1}^n (max_{[y_i,y_{i+1}]}f(x)-min_{[y_i,y_{i+1}]}f(x))(x_1 - x_0) < frac{epsilon}{2}.$$ How can we combine this partition with $x_0,x_1$?
