Is a finite dimensional subspace of $L^\infty$ separable?

153 Views Asked by At

I think any finite dimensional normed space is separable so the answer to the above would be yes. But I am not 100% sure since since this is $L^\infty$ which is not separable. Fundamentally I am not grasping the reason why $L^\infty$ is not separable.

Any finite-dimensional subspace of a TVS $X$ over $\Bbb R$ is homeomorphic to some $\Bbb R^n$ and thus (locally compact and) separable. This is a standard fact proved in most text books (e.g. Rudin's functional analysis or Dunford and Schwarz).
