Let X be the vector space of all continuous real-valued functions on the unit interval [0,1]. Show that the functions
∥f∥1=∫01∣f(t)∣dt and ∥f∥∞=sup{∣f(t)∣:0⩽t⩽1}
both define norms on X.
Consider the sequence (fn) defined by fn(t)=ntn(1−t). Does (fn) converge in the norm ∥−∥1 ? Does it converge in the norm ∥−∥∞ ? Justify your answers.
