For , the telescoping arithmetic means satisfy
because is a bounded sequence. Hence for every , and passage to the limit gives . Taking shows . The proved Hahn-Banach distance formula therefore yields a bounded linear functional on the real l-infinity sequence space with
We verify that this single linear functional also has the two remaining properties.
