Prove a metric space

92 Views Asked by At

I have begun to study some elementary properties of metric space, and I have some problems proving the space shown below is a metric space. The symmetric and positive properties are easy to show, but I can't prove the triangle inequality holds. Any help is welcomed!

$$d(f,g)=\sqrt{\int_{a}^{b} |f(x)-g(x)|^2dx}$$
