Real Analysis - Prove a metric...

Let d be a metric in X. Prove that p(x,y)=(d(x,y))/(1+d(x,y)) is also a metric in X.

Let (X,d) be a metric space. Define a closed ball with center x and radius r to be the set B[x;r]={y:d(x,y)<=r}. Prove that B[x,r] is a closed set.

Real analysis - completeness

Let X be the set of all bounded sequences of real numbers. If x=(a_k) and y=(b_k) let d be the metric funtion defined by d(x,y)=sup{|a_k - b_k|} (note _ denotes subscript) Show that the metric space defined above is complete.
