SUMMARY

The discussion centers on proving that if a sequence of functions \( f_n: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) converges uniformly to a function \( f \), and each \( f_n \) approaches 0 as \( x \rightarrow \infty \), then \( f \) must also converge to 0 as \( x \rightarrow \infty \). The key concepts involved include the definitions of uniform convergence and limits at infinity. The participant expresses confusion regarding their calculations, specifically encountering an issue where \( |f(x)| < 0 \), indicating a misunderstanding in applying the definitions correctly.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of uniform convergence and its implications
  • Familiarity with limits at infinity
  • Basic knowledge of real analysis
  • Proficiency in LaTeX for mathematical notation
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the definition of uniform convergence and its properties
  • Study the relationship between uniform convergence and pointwise convergence
  • Practice problems involving limits at infinity in real analysis
  • Learn to troubleshoot common LaTeX formatting issues
USEFUL FOR

Students studying real analysis, particularly those focusing on convergence of sequences of functions, as well as educators and tutors assisting with advanced calculus concepts.

Homework Statement


Suppose that [tex]f_{n}[/tex]:R[tex]\rightarrow[/tex]R convergy uniformly to f. If each function [tex]f_{n}[/tex] satisfies [tex]f_{n}[/tex][tex]\rightarrow[/tex] 0 as x[tex]\rightarrow[/tex][tex]\infty[/tex], prove that f[tex]\rightarrow[/tex]0 as x[tex]\rightarrow[/tex][tex]\infty[/tex]. That is show that the limit exists.


Homework Equations


Definition of uniform convergense
Uniform convergence implies pointwise convergence
definition of limits at infinity


The Attempt at a Solution



I have tried to make an estimation using the definition of limits at infinity. I have no idea what I am doing incorrectly but I keep getting that |f(x)|<0 for some reason.

Any advice on this one?

Also, why is my latex so screwed up?
