Prove that composition of functions is measurable
$begingroup$
Let $f: X to [0, infty)$ and $p:X to mathbb{R}$ be measurable functions. Prove that $g(x) = [f(x)]^{p(x)}$ is a measurable function.
My plan was invoking the following theorem:
For $(X,M)$ a measurable space, $(Y, tau_Y), (Z, tau_Z)$ topological spaces, if $f: X to Y$ is measurable and $g: Y to Z$ is continuous, then $h = g circ f$ is measurable.
Now, I defined the function
$$phi: [0,infty)times mathbb{R} to [0, infty)$$
$$phi(f(x),p(x)) := [f(x)]^{p(x)}$$
Now I just have to prove continuity of $phi$, but I am having trouble doing this.

Your function $phi$ is not continuous!. In fact, $(frac 1 n, -1) to (0,-1)$ but $phi (frac 1 n, -1) to infty$. Instead of this approach write $g(x)$ as $e^{p(x)log (f(x))}$ and note that $log (f(x))$ is an extended real valued measurable function. Can you complete the argument now?

What is it with sequences of the form $frac{1}{n}$ (or very similar) that they keep popping up all over the place in measure theory?
