Given the function f : [0, 1] → R defined as follows:

(
1, if x = n1 for some n ∈ N,
f (x) =
0, otherwise.

1. Boundedness: f (x) is bounded since it takes values in [0, 1], and it is

either 0 or 1.
2. Tagged Partition and Norm: Consider the tagged partition P =
{0, n1 , n2 , . . . , nn = 1} where n is a positive integer. The norm of this partition is
given by ∥P ∥ = n1 .
3. Riemann Sum: The Riemann sum is given by
n
X
S(P, f ) = f (xi )∆xi
i=1

where x∗i is the tag in the i-th subinterval [xi−1 , xi ]. In this case, x∗i = ni and
1 1
Pn i


∆xi = n . So, S(P, f ) = n i=1 f n .
4. Riemann Sum PCalculation: Since f (x) = 1 whenever x = n1 , the sum
1 n 1
becomes S(P, f ) = n i=1 1 = n · n = 1.
5. Limit as n Approaches Infinity: Take the limit as n approaches
infinity: limn→∞ S(P, f ) = limn→∞ 1 = 1.
6. Conclusion: The limit of the Riemann sums exists and is equal to 1
as n approaches infinity. Therefore, the function f (x) is Riemann integrable on
R1
[0, 1], and the Riemann integral is 0 f (x) dx = 1.
