Question
2. Definition: Suppose (X,d1) and (X,d2) are metric spaces. We say d1 equivalent to d2 if there exists positive constants m and M such that md2(x,y) ≤ d1(x,y) ≤ Md2(x,y) for all x and y in X.
Define
d1 :ℝ2 × ℝ2 by d1 ((x1,y1), (x2, y2)) = √ (x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2
d2 : ℝ2 × ℝ2 by d2 ((x1,y1), (x2, y2)) = max {lx2 – x1l, ly2 – y1l}
d3 : ℝ2 × ℝ2 by d3 ((x1,y1), (x2, y2)) = lx2 – x1l + ly2 – y1l
(a) Show d1is equivalent to d2
(b) Show d3 is equivalent to d1
