Notice that $f(x)\geq0$ for all $x\in [0,\infty)$ and that (using integration by parts) $\int_{[0,\infty) }xe^{-x}\, d\lambda(x) =1$. Thus, $f\in\mathcal{L}^1([0,\infty)]) $. Let $f_n(x)= (1-(x/n))^nx\chi_{[0,x]}(x)$. Then by the hint, $|f_n(x)|\leq f(x)$ for all $n$ and $x\in [0,\infty)$. Since the pointwise limit of $f_n(x)= e^{-x}x$, by the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, we see that %\[\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_0^n\left(1-\frac{x}{n}\right)^nx\, d\lambda(x)=\lim_{n\to\infty }\int_{[0,\infty)} f_n\, d\lambda=\int_{[0,\infty)} f\, d\lambda=1\]} \question Let $(X,S,\mu)$ be a measure space. \begin{parts} \part State Egoroff's theorem. \part {Alternate question: Let $f_n,f:X\to \R$ be measurable, $f_n\to f$ pointwise, and $X=\bigcup_{k=1}^\infty X_k $ where $\mu(X_k)<\infty$ for all $k\in\N$.
