Determine whether d is a metric on S
or not

Let S be the set of all sequences of real numbers (xn) for which
x < 0,
n=1
that is, the series
x converges. Define the function d :S × S → R by
n=
d(x, y)
E("n – Yn)²
n=1
where x =
(xn) and y =
(yn) are elements in S. Determine whether d is a metric on S
or not.
