# $\{f_n\}$ be a sequence of functions which are continuous over $[0, 1]$ and continuously differentiable in $(0, 1)$

Let $\{f_n\}$ be a sequence of functions which are continuous over $[0, 1]$ and continuously differentiable in $(0, 1)$. Assume that $|f_n(x)| \leq 1$ and that $|f_n’(x)| \leq 1$ for all $x \in(0, 1)$ and for each positive integer $n$. Pick out the true statements.
(a) $f_n$ is uniformly continuous for each $n$.
(b) $\{f_n\}$ is a convergent sequence in $C[0, 1]$.
(c) $\{f_n\}$ contains a subsequence which converges in $C[0, 1]$.

I am totally stuck. How should I solve this? Thanks for your help.

I think the title of the post is entirely too long for being so nondescript, but I could not come up with a better title. –  JavaMan Jan 6 '13 at 5:58
What have you tried? –  Jonas Meyer Jan 6 '13 at 6:00
Do you know any theorems about uniform continuity? Or about convergent subsequences? If you know any, you might want to try them and say why they help or don't help. –  Jesse Madnick Jan 6 '13 at 6:02
$[0,1]$ is compact. You might know a theorem on continuous functions on a compact space? Also, try a simple alternating sequence of constant functions to kill (b), and look up Arzela-Ascoli to see if it applies to c). –  Henno Brandsma Jan 6 '13 at 6:18

(a) $[0,1]$ is compact. Probably you know a theorem like this:
Let $(X,d)$ a compact metric space and $f: X \to \mathbb{R}$ continuous. Then...
(b) What about $f_n(x) := (-1)^n$?
(c) Apply Arzelà-Ascoli. (Use $|f_n(x)| \leq 1$, $|f_n'(x)| \leq 1$. Think about mean-value theorem to prove one of the conditions.)
