[Math] Prove that a function is not Riemann integrable.

analysis

Suppose $f: [-2,3] \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is defined by
$$ f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l l} 2|x| + 1, & \text{if $x$ is rational}, \\ 0, & \text{if $x$ is irrational}. \end{array} \right.$$

Prove that $f$ is not Riemann integrable.


We know that the lower integral is $0$ and the upper integral is $18$, then because they are not equal $f$ is not Riemann integrable.

Is this correct? Thanks!
