Final answer:
To prove that a set E in a normed space X is bounded, we can use the principle of uniform boundedness. If f(E) is bounded in K for every f in X', then E must also be bounded in X.
Step-by-step explanation:
To prove that a set E in a normed space X is bounded, we can use the principle of uniform boundedness. If f(E) is bounded in K for every f in X', then E must also be bounded in X.
- Assume that f(E) is bounded for every f in X'.
- Let x be an element in E. Then, for every f in X', f(x) is in f(E), which is bounded in K.
- Let M be the supremum of all |f(x)| for all f in X'. Then, for every x in E, we have |f(x)| <= M for all f in X'.
Therefore, the set E is bounded in X.
