Exercise 5 (based on Tao). Let (X,d) be an arbitrary metric space. Prove the following statements (1) If a sequence is convergent in X, all its subsequences are converging to the same limit as the original sequence. (2) If a subsequence of a Cauchy sequence is convergent, then the whole sequence is convergent to the same limit as the subsequence. (3) Suppose that (X,d) is complete and Y S X is closed in (X,d). Then the space (Y,dlyxy) is complete....

Y are a finite collection of compact subsets of X, then their union Y1 U...UYn is also compact. (c) Every finite subset of X (including the empty set) is compact.
(5) Here is a fascinating equivalence for being a complete metric space that we will use later. Let (X,d) be a metric space. (b) ** (10 points) Show that the following are equivalent: • (X, d) is complete; • for every family of non-empty closed subsets Fo, F1, F2, ... of X such that F, 2 F12 F22... and limn700 diam( Fn) = 0, it holds that Nnen Fn = {a} for some a € X.

Prove that each of the following are metrics on X: a a + i. d(1)(, y) = kd(x, y), where k >0; [3] ii. dr,y) d(2) (1, y) = [10] 1+ d(,y) The proof of the triangle inequality for d(2) boils down to showing b + > 1fc 1+a 1+b 1+c for all a, b, c > 0 with a +b > c. Proceed as follows to prove...
