Quotients<br />

Proof.<br />

First we observe that y − zj = q(x) − q(xj) ≤ x − xj,<br />

proving that that y = limj→∞ zj in X/J.<br />

Let ǫ > 0. Since {yn} is Cauchy there is an M ∈ N such that<br />

yn − ym < ǫ when n,m ≥ M. In particular, zj − ym < ǫ for all<br />

m > M and all sufficiently large j.<br />

By letting j tend to infinity we deduce that y − ym < ǫ for all<br />

m > M.<br />
