1. Show that (X, 𝑑) is a metric space, where
X = ℝ𝑛 (𝑛 ∈ ℕ), 𝑑(𝑥, 𝑦) = max1≤𝑘≤𝑛 {|𝑥𝑘 − 𝑦𝑘 |},
for 𝑥 = (𝑥1 , … , 𝑥𝑛 ), 𝑦 = (𝑦1 , … , 𝑦𝑛 ) ∈ 𝑋;
2. Show that (X, 𝑑) is a metric space, where
X consists of all bounded sequences of real numbers and 𝑑(𝑥, 𝑦) = sup𝑛∈ℕ |𝑥𝑛 − 𝑦𝑛 |, for
𝑥 = {𝑥𝑛 }, 𝑦 = {𝑦𝑛 } ∈ X (this space is denoted by 𝑙 ∞ or 𝑙∞ );
3. Show that (X, 𝑑) is a metric space, where
2|𝑥−𝑦|
X = ℂ, 𝑑(𝑥, 𝑦) = , for 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ ℂ;

4. Let ℝX denote the set of all functions on a nonempty set X to the real line ℝ, and for 𝑓, 𝑔 ∈
|𝑓(𝑥)−𝑔(𝑥)|
ℝ𝑋 , let 𝑑(𝑓, 𝑔) = sup𝑥∈𝑋 . Show that (ℝ𝑋 , 𝑑) is a metric space.

defined on X. For 𝑓, 𝑔 ∈ B(X), define 𝑑(𝑓, 𝑔) = sup{|𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥)| : 𝑥 ∈ X}. Show that

7. Define 𝑑: ℤ × ℤ → ℝ by, for 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ ℤ,

0, if 𝑥 = 𝑦
𝑑(𝑥, 𝑦) = {𝑚−1 , where 𝑚 is the positive integer such that 10𝑚−1 divides (𝑥 − 𝑦)
(𝑥 − 𝑦) but 10𝑚 does not divide (𝑥 − 𝑦).
