Does $f$ uniformly continuous on $[0, infty)$ imply that $lim_{xtoinfty} f(x)$ exists?

Does $f$ uniformly continuous on $[0, infty)$ imply that $lim_{xtoinfty} f(x)$ exists?



I think that this is true. Because $f$ u.c. implies $f$ has bounded derivative. Can someone help me confirm this hypothesis?



Thanks

No—consider the function $sin(x)$.



It does not converge because it oscillates at infinity, but it clearly is uniformly continuous, being differentiable everywhere and having bounded derivative.

The function $$f : xmapsto sqrt{x}$$



is uniformly continuous at $[0,+infty)$ but $$lim_{xto+infty}f(x)=+infty$$
