SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept of uniform continuity, specifically addressing the scenario where the product of two uniformly continuous functions, f and g, may not be uniformly continuous. A proposed example involves choosing the set X as the real numbers, \(\mathbb{R}\), and defining the function f(x) = x. This example illustrates that when functions are unbounded, their product can fail to maintain uniform continuity, confirming the hypothesis presented in the homework statement.
