Helper for Example 3.4.3: the unit interval subtype is nonempty.
Helper for Example 3.4.3: the distance between 2x and 3x is x on [0,1].

Example 3.4.3: for X = [0,1] and Y = ℝ with the usual metrics, if
f(x)=2x and g(x)=3x, then d_∞(f,g)=1.
Helper for Proposition 3.4.4: the range of pointwise distances is bounded above.
Helper for Proposition 3.4.4: each pointwise distance is bounded by the uniform metric.
Helper for Proposition 3.4.4: a uniform pointwise bound controls the uniform metric.
Helper for Proposition 3.4.4: the uniform metric is nonnegative.
Proposition 3.4.4: Let X and Y be metric spaces and let f^{(n)} be a sequence in
B(X → Y) with f ∈ B(X → Y). Then the following are equivalent: (1) d_∞(f^{(n)}, f) → 0
as n → ∞; (2) f^{(n)} → f uniformly on X (i.e. the usual ε–N condition).
Proposition 3.4.5 (Inclusion into bounded functions): for metric spaces X and Y,
C(X → Y) is a subset of B(X → Y).
Theorem 3.4.5 (Completeness of bounded continuous functions): for metric spaces X and Y
with Y complete, the space of bounded continuous functions C(X → Y) is complete with
respect to the uniform metric (equivalently, every Cauchy sequence converges uniformly to a
bounded continuous function).
Proposition 3.4.6 (Uniform limits preserve continuity): let X and Y be metric spaces.
If (fseq n) is a sequence of functions X → Y converging uniformly to f (with respect to
the uniform metric), and each fseq n is continuous, then f is continuous.
