The $f_k$ are finite sums of the $g_i$, hence you have

$$\int_a^b f_k(x)\,dx = \int_a^b \sum_{i=1}^k g_i(x)\,dx = \sum_{i=1}^k \int_a^b g_i(x)\,dx$$

by the linearity of the integral. Since the series $g_i$ is supposed to converge uniformly, the sequence of the $f_k$ satisfies the premise of the theorem that limit and integral can be interchanged. Taking the limit inside the integral gives

$$\int_a^b \sum_{i=1}^\infty g_i(x)\,dx$$

and taking the limit of the sum of the integrals gives

$$\sum_{i=1}^\infty \int_a^b g_i(x)\,dx.$$
