Problem

a) Show that d(x,y):−min⁡{1,∣x−y∣}d(x,y) \coloneq \min\{1, |x-y|\} defines a metric on R\mathbb{R}. b) Show that a sequence converges in (R,d)(\mathbb{R}, d) if and only if it converges in the standard metric. c) Find a bounded sequence in (R,d)(\mathbb{R}, d) that contains no convergent subsequence.
