Composition preserves Riemann integrability

Composing a Riemann integrable function with a continuous function preserves integrability.
Composition preserves Riemann integrability

Composition preserves Riemann integrability: Let f:[a,b]Rf:[a,b]\to\mathbb R be on [a,b][a,b], and let φ:JR\varphi:J\to\mathbb R be on an JJ that contains the range f([a,b])f([a,b]). Then φf\varphi\circ f is Riemann integrable on [a,b][a,b].

In particular, taking φ(t)=t2\varphi(t)=t^2 shows that f2f^2 is integrable whenever ff is integrable, and taking φ(t)=t\varphi(t)=|t| connects directly to .
