Let $f, f_n : [a,b] to mathbb{R} $ be Riemann $forall n in mathbb{N}$ if $lim_{n to infty} sup _x |f_n(x) - f(x)| = 0$, then $lim _{n to infty} int_a^b f_n = int_a^b f$

Let $ varepsilon > 0$ there exists $N in mathbb{N}$ such that $forall n ge N$ $sup_{x in [a,b]} lvert f_n - f rvert < varepsilon$ Since $forall n, f_n, f$ are Riemann-Integrable which implies they are bounded. Let $M = max{| sup f_n|, : n in mathbb{N}} cup {|sup f|}$

    The hypothesis is that the convergence is uniform, so it is unclear what you mean by "I don't have uniform convergence at my disposal." I recommend using $int_a^b g(x),dxleq (b-a)suplimits_{aleq xleq b}g(x)$.

    I don't understand what you mean by "I cannot yet use that". You have to use it, even if you don't call it that. It is just a definition, and your hypothesis is that the definition is satisfied. Perhaps you mean you can't use extra theorems about uniform convergence? No need, you can use the given property (i.e. the uniform convergence) directly.

Consider $epsilon>0$



Then from $lim_{ntoinfty}sup_x|f_n(x)-f(x)|=0$ you can find a $Ninmathbb N$ such that $sup_x|f_n(x)-f(x)|<frac{epsilon}{b-a}$, for all $nge N$.



Which means $|f_n(x)-f(x)|<frac{epsilon}{b-a} forall xin[a,b] forall ngemathbb N$



Then:



$$left|int_a^b f_n-int_a^bfright|le int_a^b |f_n-f|lefrac{epsilon}{b-a}(b-a)=epsilon$$
