Problem 1
Use the precise definitions, state all hypotheses, apply |f_n(x)|≤M_n; ΣM_n<∞, and verify the conclusion against a boundary case or independent theorem.

Accept equivalent mathematically correct reasoning. Require explicit definitions, theorem hypotheses, proof structure, verification, and limitations.
Use the precise definitions, state all hypotheses, apply |f_n(x)|≤M_n; ΣM_n<∞, and verify the conclusion against a boundary case or independent theorem.
Identify the first invalid inference, missing hypothesis, quantifier error, unjustified limit interchange, or unproved existence claim; then supply a valid repair.
A complete response explicitly states the definitions, domain, hypotheses, exact target, and theorem dependencies for Weierstrass M-Test.
The argument must address dominating a function series by a convergent numerical series with each nontrivial step justified and the final conclusion restated.
A strong application explains the mathematical model in Fourier analysis, approximation theory, differential equations, numerical methods, and complex analysis, verifies conditions, and names at least one limitation.
Accept a second valid proof, a counterexample showing necessity of a hypothesis, an independent estimate, or a reproducible finite check that is correctly described as supporting evidence.
