In subsection II.D, we assume that there exists a strictly positive real number $c$ such that the discrete real random variable $X$ satisfies $\mathbb{E}(X)=0$ and $\forall \omega \in \Omega,|X(\omega)| \leqslant c$.
Show that the random variable $X$ admits an exponential moment of order $\alpha$ for every strictly positive real number $\alpha$.
