Let Y = R([a, b]) be the set (actually a vector space) of bounded,
real-valued, Riemann integrable functions on the closed and bounded
interval [a, b], and let X = C([a, b]), be the subset (actually a vector
subspace) of continuous, real-valued functions on [a, b]. For f, g = Y,
define
d(f,g) sup f(x) = g(x).
x= [a,b]
=
Suppose that the function d
XxX*
Xx X has the following properties: for all f, g, h E X
i. d(f,g) ≥ 0 and d(f, g) = 0 if and only if f = g (i.e. if and
only if f(x) = g(x) for all x = [a, b].);
ii. d(f,g) = d(g, f);
iii. d(f,g) ≤d(f, h) + d(h, g).
Does the function d: Y x Y have the same three properties? Explain why or why not.
