Formula

A bound uniform in x proves more than pointwise convergence at a chosen x.

||fₙ||∞ = sup |fₙ(x)|

Worked example

For f_n(x) = 25x/n on [0,1], calculate sup over x of |f_n(x)| when n = 72. Round the final result to 4 decimal places if needed.

The function is nonnegative and increasing in x; its maximum occurs at x = 1 and equals 25/72.

Prerequisites and checking

Algebra; calculus or linear algebra as appropriate to the topic. Keep units and rounding consistent. State the model conditions before applying the formula.
