Prove that {$x\in{X}, f(x)=\lambda$} $\in{A}$ $\space$ knwowing that {$x\in{X}, f(x)>\lambda$}$\in A$ and being $ (X,A,\mu) $ be a measure-space

43 Views Asked by At

Let $ (X,A,\mu) $ be a measure-space and let we have the function $ f:X \to \mathbb{R} $ for which $$\{x\in X , f(x)>\lambda\}\in A$$ for $\forall\lambda\in{\mathbb{R}}$. I have to prove that $$\{x\in X , f(x)=\lambda\} \in{A}.$$

What I have done is:

As $\{x\in X , f(x)>\lambda\} \in A$ I know that $$\{x\in X, f(x)>\lambda\}^c=\{x\in X , f(x)\le\lambda\}\in A$$ and $$\{ x\in X , f(x)\le\lambda\}=\{x\in X, f(x)<\lambda\}\cup\{x\in {X}, f(x)=\lambda\}, $$ so can I say that $\{x\in X, f(x)=\lambda\}\in A$?

If not, what can I do?

$A$ is a $\sigma$-algebra and is closed under countable unions and intersections. Consider the sets $$E_n=\{x\in X, f(x)>\lambda-1/n\}$$ Then $E_n\in A$ by assumption. What is the union of the $E_n$? It is also in $A$.

Hint: $\{ x \in X, f(x) \geq \lambda \} = \bigcup_{\lambda > \lambda', \lambda' \in \mathbb{Q} } \{x \in X, f(x) > \lambda'\} $
