Question from Real Analysis by Haaser and Sullivan
Let X be the set of all continuous functions from [a,b] into $R^n$ and let $d$ be defined by $d(f,g)=max(|f(t)-g(t)|:t\in[a,b]) $ Show that (X,d) is a complete metric space.
What I need to show is that for every Cauchy sequence in X then the cauchy sequence converges to a point in X. Now I know $R^n$ is a complete metric space. So if $f_n(t)$ is a Cauchy sequence then $f_n(t)$ converges to some point say $f(t)\in R^n$. Now this means that $d(f_n(t),f(t))\lt\partial.$ Since $f$ continuous and a $0\lt\partial$ exists then $\forall \epsilon \gt 0$ $d(f_n,f)\lt\epsilon.$ Hence (X,d) is a complete metric space.
If someone could explain the difference between uniformly continuous and continuous? Also in general how one shows uniform continuity vs. continuity?
