 Solution

The space of polynomials is not complete for the supremum norm metric $d$. ConsiderThe geometric series has sum $F(t)=1/(1-t/2)$, and for $0\le t\le 1$ its tail satisfiesThus $(p_n)$ converges uniformly to $F$ and is a Cauchy sequence for $d$.

There is no polynomial $p$ agreeing with $F$ on $[0,1]$: otherwise the polynomial $(1-t/2)p(t)-1$ would vanish at infinitely many points and therefore be the zero polynomial. Evaluating this identity at $t=2$ gives $-1=0$. By uniqueness of the uniform limit, $(p_n)$ has no limit in $X$. This proves the claimed failure of completeness.
