Some subspaces are either closed or dense
$begingroup$
a) Let $a_{n}rightarrow 0$ and $M={xin ell^{2}:sum a_{n}x_{n}=0}$. Show
that the subspace $M$ of $ell^{2}$ is closed or dense according as $%
{a_{n}}in ell^{2}$ or ${a_{n}}notin ell^{2}$.
b) Let $g$ be any positive measurable function on $[0,1]$. Let $$N=left{fin
L^{2}([0,1]):int_{0}^{1}f(x)g(x)dx=0right}$$ Prove that $N$ is closed
or dense in $L^{2}([0,1])$ according as $gin L^{2}([0,1])$ or $gnotin
L^{2}([0,1])$.
Several special cases of this have appeared here. I am trying to consolidate these. I have provided an answer but my answer is probably not the best. I would look forward to comments, alternate proofs and generalizations.

For a) take $xin l^{0}$ (the space of finitely non-zero sequences).
Consider $x-c_{n}x^{(n)}$ where $x_{j}^{(n)}=frac{a_{j}}{b_{n}}$ for $jleq
n$ and $0$ for $j>n,c_{n}=-frac{sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{j}x_{j}}{%
sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{j}^{2}}$ and $b_{n}=sqrt{sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{j}^{2}}$. Note that $leftVert x^{(n)}rightVert =1$
for each $n$ and $c_{n}rightarrow 0$ if ${a_{n}}notin l^{2}$. Hence $M$
is dense in this case. If ${a_{n}}in l^{2}$ then $M$ is the orthogonal
complement of ${a_{n}}$. hence it is closed.
For b) first observe that any $fin L^{2}([0,1])$ can be approximated by
a $hin L^{2}([0,1])$ such that $int_{0}^{1}leftvert
h(x)g(x)rightvert dx<infty $. [ Take $h=fI_{{|fg|leq n}}$ ]. Now consider $%
h-c_{n}frac{gI_{{|g|leq n}}}{b_{n}}$ where $b_{n}=sqrt{int
g(x)^{2}I_{{|g|leq n}}(x)dx}$ and $c_{n}=-b_{n}frac{int_{0}^{1}h(x)g(x)dx}{int_{0}^{1}g^{2}I_{{|g|leq n}}dx}=%
frac{int_{0}^{1}h(x)g(x)dx}{sqrt{int_{0}^{1}g^{2}I_{%
{|g|leq n}}dx}}$. Note that $c_{n}rightarrow 0$ if $gnotin L^{2}([0,1])$
and that $frac{gI_{{|g|leq n}}}{b_{n}}$ has norm $1$ for each $n$. The
proof is completed as in a).
