Show that the following series is uniformly convergent on $BbbR$



beginalignsum^infty_n=1(-1)^n+1dfrac1n+x^4endalign



MY TRIAL



I tried using the alternating series test before the $beta_n$ approach.



Let $f_n(x)=dfrac1n+x^4,;forall;xinBbbR,;ninBbbN,$
then



  1. $f_n(x)=dfrac1n+x^4geq 0$

  2. $f_n+1(x)leq f_n(x)$

  3. $f_n(x)=dfrac1n+x^4to 0$

Then,
beginalignbeta_n &=suplimits_xinBbbRleft|s_n(x)-sum^infty_i=1f_i(x)right|\&=suplimits_xinBbbRleft|sum^n_i=1(-1)^i+1f_i(x)-sum^infty_i=1(-1)^i+1f_i(x)right|\&=suplimits_xinBbbRleft|sum^n_i=1(-1)^i+1dfrac1i+x^4-sum^infty_i=1(-1)^i+1dfrac1i+x^4right|\&=suplimits_xinBbbRleft|(-1)^n+2dfrac1(n+1)+x^4+(-1)^n+3dfrac1(n+2)+x^4+(-1)^n+4dfrac1(n+3)+x^4cdotsright|\&=suplimits_xinBbbRleft|dfrac1(n+1)+x^4-dfrac1(n+2)+x^4+dfrac1(n+3)+x^4-dfrac1(n+4)+x^4cdotsright|\&=suplimits_xinBbbRleft|dfrac1(n+1)+x^4-left(dfrac1(n+2)+x^4-dfrac1(n+3)+x^4right)-left(dfrac1(n+4)+x^4-dfrac1(n+5)+x^4right)cdotsright|\&leq suplimits_xinBbbRleft|dfrac1(n+1)+x^4right|to 0,;;textas;ntoinftyendalign
and we are done!



Kindly help me check if I'm correct! Constructive criticisms will be highly welcome! I'll also love to see other approaches to this problem. Thanks!
