Prove that a set is a Borel set

70 Views Asked by At

we know that f and g are two Borel functions. We want to prove that $\{x:f(x)<g(x)\}$ is a Borel set.

I know that for a set A, the inverse of f(A) and g(A) will be a Borel set. I don't see how i can prove the other thing with this information.

$h=f-g$ is a Borel function and $\{x: f(x) <g(x)\}=h^{-1} (-\infty ,0)$.
