proof of Weierstrass M-test
Consider the sequence of partial sums sn=∑nm=1fm. Take any p,q∈ℕ such that p≤q,then, for every x∈X, we have
|sq(x)-sp(x)| | = | |q∑m=p+1fm(x)| | ||
≤ | q∑m=p+1|fm(x)| | |||
≤ | q∑m=p+1Mm |
But since ∑∞n=1Mn converges, for any ϵ>0 we can find an N∈ℕ such that, for any p,q>N and x∈X, we have |sq(x)-sp(x)|≤∑qm=p+1Mm<ϵ. Hence the sequence sn converges uniformly to ∑∞n=1fn.
