Let ARA \subset \mathbb{R}. What does it mean to say that a sequence of real-valued functions on AA is uniformly convergent?

(i) If a sequence (fn)\left(f_{n}\right) of real-valued functions on AA converges uniformly to ff, and each fnf_{n} is continuous, must ff also be continuous?

(ii) Let fn(x)=enxf_{n}(x)=e^{-n x}. Does the sequence (fn)\left(f_{n}\right) converge uniformly on [0,1][0,1] ?

(iii) If a sequence (fn)\left(f_{n}\right) of real-valued functions on [1,1][-1,1] converges uniformly to ff, and each fnf_{n} is differentiable, must ff also be differentiable?

Give a proof or counterexample in each case.
