Consider the sequence of functions \begin{align*} f_n(x)=\begin{cases} 0 & x \leq -\tfrac{1}{n} \\[0.5em] nx+1 & x \in (-\tfrac{1}{n},0) \\[0.5em] 1 & x\geq 0 \end{cases} \end{align*} Show by the definition of a distribution that $f_n\rightarrow H$ in the sense of distributions where $H$ is the Heaviside function.
I feel like it would be easier to show that $f_n-H\rightarrow 0$ in the sense of distributions, but I'm not sure how to go from here.
Any tips would be appreciated!
