1. Given un (x) = 3x+2n x
1+n2 x2 for every x ∈ R and u(x) = 2x for every x ∈ R.
(a) Show that limn→∞ un (x) = u(x) pointwise for every x ∈ R.

(b) Show that |u(x) − un (x)| = .
1 + n2 x2

(c) Use (1 − n|x|)2 ≥ 0 to show that 2n|x| ≤ 1 + n2 x2 , and hence that |u(x) − un (x)| ≤ 2n .
(d) Write down the statement which gives the definition that a sequence of functions un (x)
converges uniformly to the function u(x) and hence conclude that the sequence of functions
3x + 2n2 x3
converges uniformly to the function 2x on R.

4. Let fn (x) = xn (1 − x), for n = 1, 2, 3, . . ..


(a) For what values of x is the sequence {fn (x)} convergent?

(e) Illustrate with a sketch the behaviour of the graphs of fn (x) as n increases.
