Transcribed Image Text:**24.1** Let \( f_n(x) = \frac{1 + 2\cos^2 nx}{\sqrt{n}} \). Prove carefully that \( (f_n) \) converges uniformly to 0 on \( \mathbb{R} \).
### Explanation:
This problem involves proving the uniform convergence of the sequence of functions \( f_n(x) \) to the zero function on the real numbers \( \mathbb{R} \). The function \( f_n(x) \) comprises a trigonometric component, \(\cos^2(nx)\), which is modulated by the sequence \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\). As \( n \) increases, the \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\) term diminishes the influence of the \( 1 + 2\cos^2(nx) \) term, leading \( f_n(x) \) to converge towards zero. Uniform convergence means that for every \(\epsilon > 0\), there exists an \( N \) such that for all \( n > N \) and all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \), the inequality \(|f_n(x)| < \epsilon\) holds.
