Show that $ lim_{ntoinfty} int_{0}^{1} f_n $ exists












1












$begingroup$


Let $(X,d)= (C[0,1],d)$ where $C[0,1]$ is the set of real-valued continuous functions on $[0,1]$ and $d= int_{0}^{1} |f-g|$ is the Riemann Integral.



Suppose $(f_n)$ is a Cauchy sequence in $(X,d) $ , show that $ lim_{ntoinfty} int_{0}^{1} f_n $ exists.



My attempt: Given $epsilon>0$, $exists Ninmathbb{N}$ s.t $int_{0}^{1} |f_n-f_m|<epsilon$ for all $m>n>N$



$implies int_{0}^{1} |f_n|-int_{0}^{1}|f_m| <epsilon $ (Reverse triangle inequality)



But this only shows that $int_{0}^{1} |f_n|$ is Cauchy and not $int_{0}^{1} f_n$. Any hints would be appreciated.

Hint: Show $int_0^1f_n$ forms a Cauchy sequence in $mathbb{R}$.



$$left| int_0^1f_n - int_0^1f_mright| = left| int_0^1(f_n - f_m)right| leqslant int_0^1 |f_n - f_m| = d(f_n,f_m)$$
