A Continuous Function on a Closed Interval is Riemann Integrable

A continuous real function on a closed bounded interval is bounded and Riemann integrable there, and it is integrable on every nondegenerate closed subinterval.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Line: Standing Notation and Background for Calculus on Intervals, let a,b∈Ra,b\in\mathbb{R} with a<ba<b, and let f:[a,b]→Rf:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} be continuous on [a,b][a,b]. Integrability on [a,b][a,b] and on a closed subinterval of [a,b][a,b] are as in The Riemann Integral on a Closed Interval via Lower and Upper Integrals (iv) and The Riemann Integral on a Closed Interval via Lower and Upper Integrals (vi).

ff is bounded, that is, there is B∈RB\in\mathbb{R} with ∣f(t)∣≤B|f(t)|\le B for every t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b], and ff is integrable on [a,b][a,b].

For all u,v∈[a,b]u,v\in[a,b] with u<vu<v, ff is integrable on [u,v][u,v].
