Let $(X,\Sigma,\mu)$ be a measure space. Let $f$ be a measurable function and $t > 0, t\in \mathbb{R}.$.
Denote: $$C_f(t) = \mu \{x \in \Omega : |f(x)| \geq t \}.$$
In the first part of this question (from a past paper), I showed that $$C_{f+g}(t) \leq C_f(t/2) + C_g(t/2).$$ I'm not sure if this relates to the next part or not.
(b) For any integers $n,m \geq 1$ prove that $$C_f(t) \leq \frac{1}{t^n + t^m} \int (|f|^n + |f|^m)d\mu.$$
In all honesty, I'm not even sure where to start with this. It's only four marks which suggests I'm missing something simple.
\begin{align} \int(|f|^n+|f|^m)\ \mathsf d\mu &\geqslant \int_{\{|f|\geqslant t\}}(|f|^n+|f|^m)\ \mathsf d\mu\\ &\geqslant \int_{\{|f|\geqslant t\}} (t^n + t^m)\ \mathsf d\mu\\ &=C_f(t)(t^n+t^m). \end{align}
