A complete metric space is one in which every Cauchy sequence converges. On $I=(0,1]$ defineThe map $x\mapsto 1/x$ is an isometry from $(I,d)$ onto the closed subset $[1,\infty )$ of $\mathbb{R}$, so $d$ is a metric and is complete. That map and its inverse are continuous in the ordinary Euclidean metrics, so it is also a homeomorphism. Therefore $d$ induces exactly the usual subspace topology on $I$.
