 Solution

A function $f:(X,d_X)\to (Y,d_Y)$ is uniformly continuous if for every $\epsilon >0$ there is $\delta >0$ such thatfor all $x,x^{\prime }\in X$.

Suppose $f_n\to f$ uniformly and every $f_n$ is uniformly continuous. Given $\epsilon >0$, choose $N$ such thatfor every $x$. Uniform continuity of $f_N$ supplies $\delta >0$ such that $d_X(x,x^{\prime })<\delta$ impliesThe triangle inequality then gives $d_Y(f(x),f(x^{\prime }))<\epsilon$. Thus the uniform limit theorem for uniformly continuous functions proves that $f$ is uniformly continuous.

Pointwise convergence is insufficient. On $[0,1]$, the uniformly continuous functions $f_n(x)=x^n$ converge pointwise towhich is discontinuous and therefore not uniformly continuous.
