I need help correcting my real analysis proof

Let $f$ be a measurable function on $E$ that is finite a.e. on $E$ and $m^* (E) < infty$. For each $epsilon > 0$, show that there is a measurable set $F$ contained in $E$ such that $f$ is bounded on $F$ and $m^* (Esetminus F) < epsilon$. What is $F$? I know $F subset E$ do I have to say that in my proof?
Let $Esetminus F = E cap F^c$ which implies $m^*(Esetminus F) = m^*(E cap F^c)$.
I know $m^*(F) = m^*( Fcap E) + m^*(Fsetminus E^c)$ but I have
$m^*(F) = m^*(Ecap F^c ) + m^*(Fcap E)$. I don’t see where this came from.
Since $m^*(E) < infty$ that implies $m^*( Ecap F^c) = m^*(F) – m^*( Fcap E)$.
I will create $I_n$ a countable cover for $E$, where $I_n=(a_n,b_n)$.
I’m going to create a closed set for F so the function f will be bounded on it.
$$ F_n=[a_n,b_n- epsilon /2^n ] $$ so let $$ F = bigcup F_n. $$
Using the definition of outer measure I get $$ m^*(F) = sum l(F_n )=sum (b)_n- a_n-epsilon/2^n )= sum(b_n-a_n-epsilon).$$
Since $Fsubset E$, it is easy to see that $m^*(Ecap F)=m^*(F)$ so $$m^*(Ecap F) = m^*(F) leq m^*(I_n )=sum (b_n-a_n)$$ which implies $$m^*(Ecap F) leq sum l(I_n )- sum l(F_n )=sum (b_n-a_n )-sum (b_n-a_n-epsilon)=epsilon.$$
Thus there is an $ F$ such that $Fsubset E$ and $F$ is closed so $f$ is bounded on it and $m^*(Esetminus F) leq epsilon$.



Nothing in your work has included f. I do not see why suddenly f should be bounded.

          You need to construct such an $F$ with the properties outlined. The set $A_n={xin E:|f(x)|>n}$ is an open set with $A_nsubseteq E$. Since f finite a.e. and $m^*(E)<infty$, there exists a $s$ such that $m^*(A_s)<varepsilon$. Take $F=Esetminus A_s$.



          $F$ is closed and $Fsubseteq E$ with $m^*(Esetminus F)< varepsilon$. Also, $|f(x)|leq s$ on $F$ by definition of $A_s$.
