Is the unit ball of a separable Banach space itself separable?

818 Views Asked by At

If $X$ is a separable Banach space, then do we know that its unit ball has a countably dense subset contained in the unit ball?

This isn't obvious to me.

A metric space is separable if and only if it is second countable. Second countability passes to subspaces.
