Proving a sequence of functions converges, is differentiable, etc.












0












$begingroup$


I have this question asking to prove that a sequence of functions is differentiable, pointwise and uniformly convergent, and something regarding the equality of limits of the function's derivative.



For each natural number $n$, define $f_n : [−1, 1] → R$ by



$$f_n(x) = frac{x}{1+n^2x^2}$$



(a) Prove that for each natural number $n$, the function $f_n$ is differentiable, and find $f'_n$



(b) Prove that $(f_n)$ is uniformly convergent.



(c) Prove that $(f_n)$ is pointwise convergent.



(d) Prove that $$(lim_{xtoinfty} f_n(x))' neq lim_{xtoinfty} f_n'(x)$$



I notice that the function is continuous and that $f'_{n}$ exists over the interval, so that sets me up well to prove that $f_n$ is differentiable.



I'm iffy on proving the last three points. Where do I begin?

          $(b)$: prove that $|f_n(x)| le frac{1}{2n}$ for all $n in mathbb N$ and all $x in [0,1].$



          $(c)$ follows from $(b)$.



          $(d)$ is now your turn !
