Uniform convergence of $f_n(x) = sqrt{x^2 + frac{1}{n^2}}$, solution verification

$begingroup$


Is my reasoning right? I have $f_n(x) = sqrt{x^2 + frac{1}{n^2}}$ for $x in mathbb{R}$, so I conclude that it's pointwise convergent $f_n to |x|$, and moreover it's uniformly convergent to $|x|$, because $left | sqrt{x^2 + frac{1}{n^2}}- |x| right | = frac{1}{n^2 left ( sqrt{x^2 + frac{1}{n^2}} + |x| right )} leq frac{1}{n^2} to 0$



That's because $sqrt{x^2 + frac{1}{n^2}} to |x|$ and it's decreasing for any $x in mathbb{R}$, therefore I can make denominator smaller by $sqrt{x^2 + frac{1}{n^2}} leq |x|$, so I'd get in denominator $n^2 2|x|$ and if $|x| > frac{1}{2}$ then $frac{1}{n^22|x|} leq frac{1}{n^2}$, otherwise if $|x| leq frac{1}{2}$ then $frac{1}{n^22|x|} leq frac{2|x|}{n^22|x|} = frac{1}{n^2}$

    There is a mistake, note that $$frac{1}{n^2 left ( sqrt{x^2 + frac{1}{n^2}} + |x| right )} leq frac{1}{n}$$ That is: you want to make the denominator as small as possible to bound the fraction above. The maximum happen when $x=0$, hence the above inequality

    @Did Right, when $|x| leq frac{1}{2}$, then $2|x| leq 1$, so $frac{1}{n^2 2|x|} = frac{1}{n} cdot frac{1}{n2|x|} leq frac{1}{n} to 0$, because $n2|x| geq 1$ for fixed $n$ and for every $|x| leq frac{1}{2}$ without $0$, we can check as a special case that for $x=0$ boundary holds too, daym I did it too fast and got that mistake

A simpler way to proceed: If $a,bge 0,$ then $sqrt {a+b}-sqrt a le sqrt b.$ Proof: Move $sqrt a$ to the other side and square. It follows that



$$sqrt {x^2+1/n^2} -sqrt {x^2} le sqrt {1/n^2} = 1/n.$$
