which of the following are uniformly convergent?

  1. $\frac{1}{n(1+x^2)}$ in $\mathbb{R}$
  2. $\frac{sin~nx}{n}$ in $\mathbb{R}$
  3. $\frac{x^2+nx}{n}$ in $\mathbb{R}$
  4. $\frac{x^n}{n}$ in [0,1]

All except 3 is pointwise convergent and converges to 0. But to check uniform convergence Wiestrauss M-test is not working as 1/n is not absolutely convergent. I think these three are uniformly convergent. How to prove this

For (4). It suffices to prove that the 'largest' separation from the terms in the sequence to the limit shrinks to zero to prove uniform convergence.

Let $f_n(x)=\frac{x^n}{n}$ and we consider the following supremum. $$sup\{|f_n(x)|:x\in[0,1], n\in\mathbf{N}\}\leq sup\{|f_n(1)|: n\in\mathbf{N}\}= 0 $$ $ so the sequence much converge uniformly. I recommend applying this method to the others.
