Homework Statement


Give an example of two metric spaces (X1, d1) and (X2, d2) which are topologically equivalent and for which (X1, d1) is complete and (X2, d2) is not.


2. The attempt at a solution
The open unit disc and R2. They are homeomorphic, but there are Cauchy sequences in the disc which will converge to limits outside of the disc, so it's not complete.

Thanks - I was pretty sure, but wanted to check.
