Let $f in C^1([0, +infty))$. Suppose that $lim_x rightarrow +infty f(x)=L$ and $f'$ is uniformly continuous.
Show that $$lim_x rightarrow +infty f'(x) + f(x)=L$$
I tried to apply L'Hospital's Rule to $frace^xf(x)e^x$ since $fracddxe^xf(x)=e^x(f'(x)+f(x))$. It seems alright but I didn't use the uniform continuity of $f'$ and it doesn't work for the function $f(x)=fracsin(x^2)x$ whose derivative is $f'(x)=2cos(x^2)-fracsin(x^2)x^2$ since $lim_x rightarrow +infty f'(x)$ doesn't exist.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

We have $lim_x to infty f'(x) = 0$ because,
$$int_0^x f'(t) , dt = f(x) - f(0), \int_0^infty f'(t) , dt = lim_x to inftyf(x) - f(0) = L - f(0) quad (textconvergent)$$
and $f'$ is uniformly continuous.
To prove this assume that $lim_x to inftyf'(x) =0$ does not hold and arrive at contradiction with the fact that the integral of $f'$ is convergent.
If $lim_x to infty f'(x) = 0$ does not hold then there exists $epsilon_0 > 0$ and a sequence $x_n to infty$ such that $|f'(x_n)| geqslant epsilon_0$ for all $n$. Next apply uniform continuity.
Assume WLOG that $f'(x_n) geqslant epsilon_0$.
There exists by uniform continuity $delta > 0$ such that $|f'(t) - f'(x_n)| < epsilon_0/2 implies f'(t) > epsilon_0/2$ for all $t in [x_n - delta,x_n + delta],$ and
$$ int_x_n - delta^x_n + delta f'(t) , dt > epsilondelta$$
This violates the Cauchy criterion for convergence of the improper integral since $x_n$ can be arbitrarily large.
