suppose that I ⊆ R and that f: I → R is uniformly continuous.
If x_n ∈ I is Cauchy, then f(x_n) is Cauchy.
Let ε > 0 be given.
Since f is uniformly continuous on I and {x_n} ⊆ I, there exists δ > 0 such that
|x_m - x_n| < δ ==> |f(x_m) - f(x_n)| < ε.
Next, since {x_n} is Cauchy, there exists a positive integer N such that
|x_m - x_n| < δ for all m, n > N.
Hence, |f(x_m) - f(x_n)| < ε for all m, n > N.
==> {f(x_n)} is Cauchy.
I hope this helps!
