9.3 Implications of Uniform Convergence in Calculus 567
- Evaluate each of the following integrals and justify your answers:

- Use the functions fn(x) = over the interval
{
l. - -"'--if 0 < x < n }
0 if x > n
(0, +oo) to show that Theorem 9.3.8 does not apply over infinite intervals.
That is, uniform convergence of {Jn} does not always preserve (improper)
integrability over infinite intervals.
- Prove Corollary 9.3.12.

solution of the differential equation y' + 3x^2 y = 0 on ( -oo, oo).
- Use results of this section to find the sums of the following series, for

- For all n EN, define fn(x) = --on (-00,00). Prove that Un} is

a sequence of differentiable functions on (-oo, oo) converging uniformly
to 0 on ( - oo, oo), but {f~ ( x)} diverges except when x is an integral
multiple of 1r. [See Exercise 2.6.20.] Doesn't this contradict Theorem
9.3.11? Explain. - Explain what happens if you try to redo Example 9.3. 13 using the fol-
lowing functions instead of the one given there?
