The quotient norm isChanging the representative does not change the infimum. The triangle inequality and absolute homogeneity follow from those of the original norm. Vanishing means belongs to the closure of , hence to because the subspace is closed. Thus this is a norm.
Use the absolutely convergent series criterion for completeness. If , choose representatives of satisfying . The series converges in the Banach space to some . Since the quotient map is contractive, converges to . Consequently the quotient is a Banach space.
