For (a) I have said
By MVT:
$|f(x)-f(y)|le K|x-y|$
Choose $delta=epsilon/K$
$|f(x)-f(y)|=|(f(x)-f(y))/(x-y)||x-y|=|f'(c)||x-y|le K|x-y| le Kdelta=epsilon$
For (b) I have said
$f'(x)=-4x^3/(1+x^4)^2$ so $|f'(x)| le B$ where be is some B in the real numbers, eg I believe 2 would be a suitable choice for B.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

(a) Be careful, MVT does not say $$|f(x) - f(y) | leq K|x-y|.$$ It says there exists $c in mathbbR$ (in this case) such that $$|f(x) - f(y) = |f'(c)||x-y|.$$
(b) The maximum of $f'(x)$ occurs at $x = -sqrt[4]3$, so $| f'(x)| leq 3^3/4 $. Use the standard tools in calculus to find this maximum.

In (a), using MVT we know that given $[a, b] subset mathbbR$, for any $x, y in [a, b]$, $exists c in [a, b]$ such that $|f(x)-f(y)| = |f'(c)| |x-y|$. Since $|f'(c)|<K$, we conclude that $|f(x)-f(y)| leq K |x-y|$ for any $x, y in mathbbR$.
Therefore, $f$ is Lipschitz continuous in $mathbbR$, and therefore uniformly continuous.
