Choose the unbounded function on . It is unbounded because for all integers . For each , the geometric series gives the sum and its remainder after degree :
Since ,
This proves uniform convergence. Although the first term and the sum are unbounded, the late tails have a bound tending to zero independently of . Uniform convergence concerns those tails and does not require the individual functions to be bounded.
