4Could you provide any work you've done on this problem already? – Ian Coley Apr 30 '13 at 19:40

3This is a trivial consequence of the mean value theorem. It is more interesting to note that $f$ can be uniformly continuous, even if its derivative is unbounded. You'll see examples here. One of them is easy to extend to $\mathbb{R}$. – Julien Apr 30 '13 at 20:22

Since $f'$ is bounded then there's $M>0$ s.t. $$|f'(x)|\leq M\quad \forall x\in\mathbb{R}$$ hence by mean value theorem we find $$|f(x)-f(y)|\leq M|x-y|\quad \forall x,y\in\mathbb{R}$$ so $f$ is a lipschitzian function on $\mathbb{R}$ and therefore it's s uniformly continuous on $\mathbb{R}$.
