SUMMARY

The sequence \{\frac{n^2x}{1+n^3x}\} is uniformly convergent on the interval [1,2] as the function is decreasing, with the supremum occurring at x=1, where the sequence approaches 0. For the interval [a,∞) with a>0, the uniform convergence is less straightforward; however, there exists an N such that for n>N, the supremum of the sequence will be at x=a. This indicates that while uniform convergence is established for the first interval, further analysis is required for the second interval.

I need to determine whether the sequence [tex]\{\frac{n^2x}{1+n^3x}\}[/tex] is uniformly convergent on the intervals:

[1,2]
[a,inf), a>0

For the first one, I notoced the function is decreasing on the interval, so the [tex]\sup|\frac{n^2x}{1+n^3x}|[/tex] will be when x=1, and when x=1, the sequence goes to 0, proving uniform convergence.

I'm not so sure how to approach the second one, because the sequence may not necessarily be decreasing on [a,inf)

Any help?

The general idea is that for a>0, there will be an N such that the sup of the sequence will be at x=a for n>N.
