Put . Uniform convergence means , and continuity ensures that the functions have Riemann integrals. The integral triangle inequality givesThis proves that uniform convergence preserves integrals on a compact interval.
For the derivative assertion, take and . These functions are differentiable, with , so their convergence is uniform. However, whereas . The derivatives therefore need not converge even at one interior point.

The Laplace-transform formula for a semigroup resolvent is locally uniformly convergent in the half-plane , so it may be differentiated under the Bochner integral:The resolvent identity gives and, by mathematical induction,ThereforeFor real , the integral triangle inequality and the Gamma integral giveConsequentlyThe exponent printed in the question is a typographical error: already at it contradicts the first-resolvent bound.
