Supremum Metric on Continuous Real Functions is Metric/Proof 2

Proof
Let $A := \mathscr D^r \left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right]$ be the set of all continuous functions $f: \left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right] \to \R$ which are of differentiability class $r$.

Let $d_r: A \times A \to \R$ be the supremum metric on $A$, defined as:
 * $\displaystyle \forall f, g \in A: d \left({f, g}\right) := \sup_{\substack {x \mathop \in \left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right] \\ i \in \left\{ {0, 1, 2, \ldots, r}\right\} } } \left\vert{f^{\left({i}\right)} \left({x}\right) - g^{\left({i}\right)} \left({x}\right)}\right\vert$

where:
 * $f$ and $g$ are continuous functions on $\left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right]$ which are $r$ times differentiable
 * $r \in \N$ is a natural number.

From Supremum Metric on Differentiability Class is Metric, $d_r$ is a metric on $A$.

By definition, real functions which are continuous on $\left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right]$ are of differentiability class $0$.

Thus setting $r = 0$ it follows that $\mathscr C \left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right]$ is $\mathscr D^0 \left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right]$.

The result follows.
