## [Convergence in a metric space: limit and uniqueness for an ultimately constant sequence on a finite metric table](/en/derivations/derivation-mko-metric-convergence-01/?from=%2Fen%2Fderivations%2F%3Fq%3Dmko-metric-convergence)

On the three-point set X={a,b,c} a complete metric table is given: d(a,b)=1, d(a,c)=2, d(b,c)=3/2. The sequence has x_0=a, x_1=c, x_2=a, and it is declared that x_n=b for every n≥3. (1) Check that d is a metric; (2) prove x_n→b from the ε-N definition and find the least valid N for each ε; (3) prove that limits in a metric space are unique, and give direct witnesses that x_n converges neither to a nor to c; (4) using a sequence that agrees with x_n on a finite tail but has a different limit, show that checking a finite tail cannot decide whether the limit is the specified b.
