Question #1: Define the pointwise convergence of a sequence of function. Plot the functions
𝑥𝑥
𝑓𝑓𝑛𝑛 (𝑥𝑥) = 𝑛𝑛 𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓 𝑛𝑛 = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥[−1,1] and in view of this graph discuss the
pointwise convergence of the sequence of functions. (You may use any software for graphing.)

Question # 2: Define the uniform convergence of a sequence of functions. Given sequence of

functions 𝑓𝑓𝑛𝑛 : (0,1) → 𝑅𝑅 defined by
1 𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛
𝑓𝑓𝑛𝑛 (𝑥𝑥) = −
𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛 𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛 + 1
Examine this sequence for pointwise and uniform convergence. (2+3+3)
Question 3: State Cauchy’s criterion and Weierstrass’s test for uniform convergence for series.
(−1) n e − nx
Test the uniform convergence of the series ∑ un , un = by using Weierstrass’s test.
