Since the pointwise limit of $f_n(x)= e^{-x}x$, by the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, we see that %\[\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_0^n\left(1-\frac{x}{n}\right)^nx\, d\lambda(x)=\lim_{n\to\infty }\int_{[0,\infty)} f_n\, d\lambda=\int_{[0,\infty)} f\, d\lambda=1\]} \question Let $f_n:[0,1]\to \R$ be the following function: \[ f_n(x)= \begin{cases} 2n^2 x& x\in [0,\frac{1}{2n}]\\ -2n^2x+2n & x\in (\frac{1}{2n},\frac{1}{n}]\\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \] \begin{center} \includegraphics[scale=0.4,alt={A sequence of graphs, each in the shape of a triangle, The base of each triangle is from 0 to $1/n$, the vertex of the triangle is at $(\frac{1}{2n}, n)$ }]{graphsForSequencesofTriangles.png} \end{center} \begin{parts} \part Does there exist a function $f$ so that $f_n\to f$ pointwise? \part Does there exist a function $f$ so that $f_n\to f$ pointwise almost everywhere? \part Does there exist a function $f$ so that $f_n\to f$ uniformly? \part Does there exist a function $f$ so that $f_n\to f$ in $\|\cdot\|_1$? \end{parts} \vspace{\stretch{1}} \question Let $(X,S,\mu)$ be a measure space. \begin{parts} \part State Egoroff's theorem. \part Let $f_n,f:X\to \R$ be measurable \textcolor{red}{$f_n\to f$ pointwise} and $\mu(X)<\infty$.
