TITLE: Prove the set of sequences $c_0$ which converge to zero in $l_{\infty}$ is closed.
QUESTION [9 upvotes]: Prove the set of sequences which converge to zero in $l_{\infty}$ is closed.
Let $x_n(k)\rightarrow x(k)$ as $n\rightarrow\infty$.  With $x_n(k)\in c_0$ and $x(k)\in l_{\infty}$.
Let $\varepsilon>0$.  Then there exists an $N>0$ such that 
$$\parallel x_N-x\parallel_{\infty}:=\sup_{k\in\mathbb{N}}|x_N(k)-x(k)|\leq\varepsilon.$$
Then we have,
\begin{align}
|x(k)| &= |x(k) - x_N(k) + x_N(k)| \\\\
&\leq |x_N(k) - x(k)| + |x_N(k)| \\\\
&\leq \varepsilon + |x_N(k)|\rightarrow \varepsilon\;\; \text{as}\;\; k\rightarrow\infty. 
\end{align}
Therefore since $\varepsilon$ was chosen arbitrarily we can conclude that $x(k)\rightarrow0$ and thus that $x(k)\in c_0$
Can someone check my work on this?  It seems too slick and painless to be correct.

REPLY [12 votes]: One more proof: $f:\ell_\infty \to \mathbb R$, $x\mapsto \lim\sup |x_n|$ is continuous so that $c_0= f^{-1}(\lbrace 0\rbrace)$ is closed.
