I must determine if the following metric space is complete
$$\mathbb R_1[x]\times \mathbb R_1[x]\rightarrow \mathbb R: d(p(x),q(x))=max\{|p(0)-q(0)|,|p(1)-q(1)|\}$$ where
$$\mathbb R_1[x]=\{p(x)=(ax+b)| a,b \in \mathbb R \}$$ is the subset of polynomials of degree $\leq 1$ Is $(\mathbb R_1[x],d) $complete?
my try:
Let $\{p(x)\}_n$ be a Cauchy sequence
by definition
$\forall \epsilon, \exists n_0, \forall n,m \geq n_0 $ $d(p_n(x),p_m(x))< \epsilon$
$$d(p_n(x),p_m(x))=max\{|p_n(0)-p_m(0)|,|p_n(1)-q_m(1)|\}$$ since the max should be greater than any of the arguments: $$|p_n(0)-p_m(0)|\leq max\{|p_n(0)-p_m(0)|,|p_n(1)-q_m(1)|\}<\epsilon$$ and $$|p_n(1)-p_m(q)|\leq max\{|p_n(0)-p_m(0)|,|p_n(1)-q_m(1)|\}<\epsilon$$ so(I am not sure) this implies that $p_n(1)=a_n$ and $p_n(0)=b_n$ are Cauchy sequences
Does this make sense? At this part I am stuck, how does this help me(if it is correct) to conclude if the space is complete or not? I should show somehow the Cauchy sequence is convergent
Consider the map$$\begin{array}{ccc}(\mathbb R_1[x],d)&\longrightarrow&\mathbb R^2\\p(x)&\mapsto&\bigl(p(0),p(1)\bigr).\end{array}$$It is a bijection and it becomes an isometry if we consider on $\mathbb R^2$ the metric $d_1$ defined by$$d_\infty\bigl((x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)\bigr)=\max\bigl\{\lvert x_1-x_2\rvert,\lvert y_1-y_2\rvert\bigr\}.$$But $(\mathbb R^2,d_\infty)$ is complete (in fact, $\mathbb R^n$ endowed with a metric induced from any norm is complete) and therefore $(\mathbb R_1[x],d)$ is complete too.
