Example 8.1.7 (b): Pointwise Convergent Function Sequence
Why these ads ...
Show that
f
n
(x) = x
n
,
x
[ 0, 1 ]
converges pointwise and identify the limit function.
Back
Let
Then:
if
x = 1
we have
f
n
(1) = 1
for all
n
if
x < 1
then
f
n
(x) = x
n
is the
power sequence
and thus converges to zero
Hence
f
n
(x)
f(x)
for each fixed
x
.
