 P: 37 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data I need a example of a continuous function f:(X, d) -> Y(Y, p) does NOT map a Cauchy sequence [xn in X] to a Cauchy sequence of its images [f(xn) in Y] in the complex plane between metric spaces. 2. Relevant equations If a function f is continuous in metric space (X, d), then it continuous at every point in X. Definition of a sequence converges to a point in metric space: If {xn} -> x, then for all e>0, there exists an N such that d(x, xn)0, there exists an N such that d(xn, xm) R-{0} defined by f(x)= 1/x, so f(x) is continuous on all domain. Let {xn} = 1/n, then {xn} converges to 0 and therefore is a Cauchy sequence in R–{0}, but its image f(xn) = 1/xn = 1/(1/n) = n diverges, therefore is NOT a Cauchy sequence. But I need an example of a continuous function f:(X, d) -> Y(Y, p) does NOT map a Cauchy sequence [xn in X] to the Cauchy sequence of its images [f(xn) in Y] between complex planes in the metric spaces? Any suggestions?
