Metric and Topological Spaces
Part IB, 2013

Let XX be a metric space with the metric d:X×XRd: X \times X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}.

(i) Show that if XX is compact as a topological space, then XX is complete.

(ii) Show that the completeness of XX is not a topological property, i.e. give an example of two metrics d,dd, d^{\prime} on a set XX, such that the associated topologies are the same, but (X,d)(X, d) is complete and (X,d)\left(X, d^{\prime}\right) is not.
