I was wondering if this proof and my later assertions were correct.
$f_n(x) = x/(1+x)^n$
Let $M_n = x/n(1+x)$. Here, $|f_n(x)| \le M_n$ since $n(1+x) \le (1+x)^n$ for $x \in [1, 2]$ and for $n>0$.
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} M_n$ converges by the ratio test.
Thus, $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} x/(1+x)^n$ is uniformly convergent for $ x \in [1,2]$ by the Weierstrass $M$ test.
Also, since it is uniformly convergent, it is convergent.
Furthermore, $\int_1^2 (\sum_{1}^{\infty} f_n(x)) dx = \sum_{1}^{\infty} \int_1^2 f_n(x)dx$ since the series converges uniformly.
Thanks ahead of time.

Your application of $M_n$ test is wrong
Insted show $f_n(x)=x/(1+x)^n$ is decreasing function by derivative test
$f_n'(x)=\frac{1+(1-n)x}{(1+x)^{n+1}}$
$f_n'(x)<0$ for $n>1$ as $x\in [1,2]$
SO $f_n(x)=x/(1+x)^n\leq f_n(1)$
i.e $M_n =1/2^n$
$\sum_1^{\infty}1/2^n =1$
SO given series is uniformly convergent by Weierstrass $M_n$ Test
