 Solution

A sequence of functions $f_n:A\to \mathbb{R}$ converges uniformly to $f$ when, for every $\epsilon >0$, there is an $N$ such thatfor every $x\in A$. Equivalently, $\Vert f_n-f{\Vert }_{\infty }\to 0$ in the supremum norm.

Yes. Fix $x_0\in A$ and $\epsilon >0$. Uniform convergence gives $N$ such that $|f_N(x)-f(x)|<\epsilon /3$ for every $x\in A$. Since the continuous function $f_N$ is continuous at $x_0$, there is a $\delta >0$ such that $|x-x_0|<\delta$ implies $|f_N(x)-f_N(x_0)|<\epsilon /3$. The triangle inequality then givesThis proves the uniform limit theorem: $f$ is continuous.
