Let X be a set, and define d(x,y) ={0, if x=y; 1, otherwise A sequence (xn) ⊆ X is called eventually constant if there is N ∈ N such that xm=xn; m, n > N. Show that any eventually constant sequence converges.

Let X be a set, and define d(x,y) ={0, if x=y; 1, otherwise

A sequence (xn) ⊆ X is called eventually constant if there is N ∈ N such that xm=xn; m, n > N. Show that any eventually constant sequence converges.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Convergent of a sequence:

Let (X,d) be a metric space, then a sequence {xn} is said to be convergent to lX , if for every ε>0, there exists a positive integer N0 such that d(xn,l)<ε for all n> N0.

 

The given metric space is the discrete metric space,

d(x,y)=0 , x=y1 , otherwise
