Define uniform convergence for a sequence f1,f2,f_{1}, f_{2}, \ldots of real-valued functions on an interval in R\mathbf{R}. If (fn)\left(f_{n}\right) is a sequence of continuous functions converging uniformly to a (necessarily continuous) function ff on a closed interval [a,b][a, b], show that

abfn(x)dxabf(x)dx\int_{a}^{b} f_{n}(x) d x \rightarrow \int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x

as nn \rightarrow \infty.

Which of the following sequences of functions f1,f2,f_{1}, f_{2}, \ldots converges uniformly on the open interval (0,1)(0,1) ? Justify your answers.

(i) fn(x)=1/(nx)f_{n}(x)=1 /(n x);

(ii) fn(x)=ex/nf_{n}(x)=e^{-x / n}.
