SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the elements x, y, and z in the normed linear space ℓ∞(ℝ). It is established that x = (n-1)/n and y = 1/n are elements of ℓ∞(ℝ) as they are bounded above, while z = 2^n is not an element due to being unbounded. The calculations for x + y and 2^(1/2)y reveal that both results are not in ℓ∞(ℝ). The infinity norms are calculated, confirming that ||x||∞ = 1, ||y||∞ = 1, and ||x+y||∞ = 1, while ||2^(1/2)y||∞ is also determined to be 1.
