Sequences of Normed Linear spaces

Show the following

[1]

Show that closure of a convex subset of a norm space is a convex set.

Solution:

Let C be convex subset of normal space N and $x,y \in \overline{C}$

Then there exists a sequence {$x_{n}$} and {$y_{n}$} in C such that

$x_{n} \longrightarrow x$ and $y_{n} \longrightarrow y$

For $ \alpha \in [0,1]$

$\alpha x_{n} + (1- \alpha)y_{n} \in C$

Since Addition and scalar multiplication is continuous so

$\alpha x_{n} + (1- \alpha)y_{n} \longrightarrow \alpha x + (1- \alpha) \in \overline{C}$

$\overline{C}$ is convex in N

$\blacksquare$

[2] Let C be a closed set in a normed linear space $\Big($$X , ||.||$ $\Big)$ over $\mathbb{F}$ , and let ($x_{n}$) be a sequence contained in C such that $\displaystyle\lim_{n \to \infty} ~ x_{n} = x \in X$.

Then $x \in C$

I'm drawing a blank and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here. Do I have to take an epsilon delta definition and go from there? Or somehow get a convergent sequence and show that it converges?

Can someone help here?
