Fourier Analysis - uniform convergence on (-inf, inf)?

I have a question that I just don't know how to go about.

" Let Fn = x/(1+(n^2)(x^2)) where n=1,2,3,... show that Fn converges uniformly on (-infinity,infinity)"

To be honest, I don't even know where to start. Is this a series? How would I solve this. Would the Abel's test apply?

Try using the ratio test to determine if a series converges.

lim\frac{F_{n+1}}{F_{n}}

Take this limit for n approaches infinity and for n approach negative infinity
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
