Show that the subspace $C$ of convergent real sequences is closed in $X$. Suppose $a^{(m)}\in C$ converges uniformly in the coordinate index to $a\in X$. Given $ϵ>0$, choose $m$ so ${\sup }_j|a_j-a_j^{(m)}|<ϵ/3$. Since the fixed sequence $a^{(m)}$ converges, it is Cauchy, so for sufficiently large $j,k$ its coordinate difference is below $ϵ/3$. ThenThus $a$ is a Cauchy sequence of real numbers and converges by completeness of $\mathbb{R}$. Hence $a\in C$, so $C$ is closed. Part (a)(iii) proves the convergent-sequence subspace is complete.
