$f$ measurable iff $f^2$ measurable and ${f > 0}$ measurable












1














I know for sure that if $f^2$ is measurable, that doesn't imply that $f$ is measurable, but how does the condition:



$$ {f > 0} text{ measurable }$$



play into making $f$ automatically measurable?

          Another Hint: It holds
          $$f =sqrt{f^2}1_{{f>0}}-sqrt{f^2}1_{{f>0}^c}.
