This is from a review packet:
Let $d:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be defined as $d(x,y)=\frac{|x-y|}{1+|x-y|}.$
i) Show that $(\mathbb{R},d)$ is a bounded metric space.
ii) Show that $A=[a,\infty)$ is a closed and bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}$.
iii) Show that $A=[1,\infty)$ is not compact.
For (i) I think this is a true observation: $d(x,y)\leq1$ for an arbitrary $x,y \in \mathbb{R}$. I'm not sure where to go from there however.
For (ii) and (iii) - I'm assuming those will following quickly from (i).
