I was wondering if f and g are two uniformly continuous functions on a set such that g(x) is not zero is f/g uniformly continuous?


I have a feeling it is not but I can't seem to find a counter example.

The function 1/x on ]0,1] should probably be a good counterexample...
 
But 1 is not considering a function f is it?
 
Take f(x)=1, the constant function, and g(x)=x...
 
If D is compact then f/g will be uniformly continuous on D right?
 
Yes. That's why I took the interval ]0,1].
 
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...
