Practical 7 - Sem4

The document discusses the pointwise convergence of a sequence of functions f(x,n) = x^n on the interval [-2,2]. It is shown that the sequence converges pointwise for all x in (-1,1) and that the limit is 1 when x = 1. The convergence is fast when x is small and slow when x is large. A second sequence f(x,n) = x/n is also analyzed and its pointwise limits are determined.

From the graph we can see that the sequence of functions converges pointwise for all x ∈ (-1,1) and f(1)
= 1. We observe that the convergence is fast when x is small and it's slow when x is large.
