SUMMARY
The metric space defined by the set of all sequences in ##\mathbb{R}## that converge to ##0##, denoted as ##\mathbb{X}##, is separable under the metric ##d(\{x_n\},\{y_n\})=\sup_{n}{|x_n−y_n|}##. To prove separability, one must identify a countable dense subset within ##\mathbb{X}##. A suitable approach is to utilize the fact that the dual space of ##\mathbb{X}## is ##\ell_1##, which provides a framework for establishing the existence of such a dense set. This conclusion is critical for understanding the properties of separable metric spaces in functional analysis.
