(a) Define what it means for a metric space to be complete. Give a metric on the interval such that is complete and such that a subset of is open with respect to if and only if it is open with respect to the Euclidean metric on . Be sure to prove that has the required properties.
(b) Let be a complete metric space.
(i) If , show that taken with the subspace metric is complete if and only if is closed in .
(ii) Let and suppose that there is a number such that for every . Show that there is a unique point such that .
Deduce that if is a sequence of points in converging to a point , then there are integers and such that for every .
