Let f element R(alpha) on [a,b] where alpha is of bounded variation on [a,b] and let v(x) denote the total variation of f on [a,x] for each x in [a,b] and let v(a) =0 , show that | integral a to b f d alpha |less than or equal to integral a to b |f| dv less than or equal to M.v(b) where M is an upper bound for |f| on [a,b]
