SUMMARY
X x Y is a Banach space if and only if both X and Y are Banach spaces. The norm on X x Y is defined as ||(x,y)|| = ||x|| + ||y||, where x belongs to X and y belongs to Y. A normed space is classified as a Banach space if it is complete, meaning every Cauchy sequence in the space converges to a limit within the space. Understanding the implications of completeness and the relationship between sequences in X and X x Y is crucial for grasping the conditions under which X x Y maintains its Banach space properties.
