Proving uniform convergence of a sequence of functions.

I was wondering how to prove or disprove the following sequence of functions is uniformly convergent



$$ f(n) = frac{nt}{nt+1}, n≥1, t:[0,1] to R$$



So far I have analyzed the limits at $t=0$ and $t=1$ and believe it to be point-wise convergent, but not uniformly convergent. However, I'm not sure how to prove this.



Also, how does the above sequence vary from



$$ f(n) = frac{nt}{n+t}, n≥1, t:[0,1] to R$$
in regards to uniform convergence?

Observe $$f_n(t)=frac{nt}{nt+1}=dfrac{t}{t+dfrac{1}{n}}tobegin{cases}0 , &t=0\1, &tneq0end{cases}$$

    For $t$ fixed in $(0,1]$,



    $$lim_{nto+infty}f_n(t)=1=f(t)$$



    $$lim_{nto+infty}f_n(0)=0=f(0)$$



    the pointwise limit $f$ is not continuous at $[0,1]$, the convergence is Not uniform since all $f_n$ are continuous at $[0,1]$.

      The sequence



      $$f_n(t) = frac{nt}{nt+1}$$



      converges (in a point-wise sense) to:



      $$f(t) = begin{cases}
      0 & text{if}~t=0\
      1 & text{if}~0<tleq 1
      end{cases}.$$



      To check uniform convergence, you need to evaluate $d_n(t) = |f_n(t) - f(t)|$:



      $$d_n(t) = begin{cases}
      0 & text{if}~t=0\
      displaystyle frac{1}{nt+1} & text{if}~0<tleq 1
      end{cases}.$$



      Notice that:



      $$sup_{t in [0,1]} d_n(t) = 1,$$



      which does not converge to $0$ as $n$ goes to infinity. Therefore, convergence is not uniform.
