Let VV be the vector space of all sequences (x1,x2,)\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots\right) of real numbers such that xix_{i} converges to zero. Show that the function

(x1,x2,)=maxi1xi\left|\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots\right)\right|=\max _{i \geqslant 1}\left|x_{i}\right|

defines a norm on VV.

Is the sequence

(1,0,0,0,),(0,1,0,0,),(1,0,0,0, \ldots),(0,1,0,0, \ldots), \ldots

convergent in V?V ? Justify your answer.
