Question

Let fn: R --> R be defined by : fn(x)= x/(1+nx2), For all n >= 1.

a) Show that {fn} converges uniformly on R to a function f.

b) Show that f'(x) = limn -->infinity f'n(x), For all x does not = 0, but this equality is false for x = 0.

c)What assumption in the theorem on the interchange of the limit and the
derivative is missing?

I am stuck with that last part (C).
