  1. a. Consider d on R, the real line, to be d(x,y) = |x2 – y2|. Show that d is NOT a metric on R.    b.Consider d on R, the real line, to be d(x,y) = |x3 – y3|. Show that d is a metric on R.

   2. Let d on R be d(x,y) = |x-y|. The “usual” distance. Show the interval (-2,7) is an open set.

Note: you must show that any point z in the interval has a ball centered at z, and that ball is completely contained within the interval (-2,7).
