Uniformly convergent sequence proof

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on proving that if a sequence of functions \( f_n(x) \) converges uniformly to \( f(x) \) on the interval [0, 1], then the sequence \( e^{f_n(x)} \) also converges uniformly to \( e^{f(x)} \) on the same interval. The proof requires demonstrating that for every \( \epsilon > 0 \), there exists an \( N \) such that for all \( n \geq N \) and all \( x \in [0, 1] \), the inequality \( |e^{f_n(x)} - e^{f(x)}| < \epsilon \) holds. A key step in the solution involves manipulating the expression \( |e^{f_n(x)} - e^{f(x)}| \) to utilize the uniform convergence of \( f_n(x) \) to \( f(x) \).

Homework Statement



Let [tex]f_n(x)[/tex] be a sequence of functions that converges uniformly to f(x) on the interval [0, 1]. Show that the sequence [tex]e^{f_n(x)}[/tex] also converges uniformly to [tex]e^{f(x)}[/tex] on [0,1].

Homework Equations



The definition of uniform convergence.

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to use the definition of uniform convergence to prove this, so I need to show that for all ε>0 there exists N≥1 for all n≥N for all x in [0,1] [tex]|e^{f_n(x)}-e^{f(x)}| < ε[/tex]. I tried to prove this from the fact that [tex]f_n(x)[/tex] converges uniformly to f(x) but I kept getting stuck and I'm not sure how to do this problem now. Can anyone help me please?

This seems like a promising first step:

[tex]|e^{f_n(x)} - e^{f(x)}| = e^{f(x)} |e^{f_n(x)-f(x)} - 1|[/tex]
