i need to prove that R is not totally bounded, with the usual metric. so i let the converse be true, and let R be contained in an epsilon net {x1,x2,...,xn}. Then i can say that this epsilon net is contained in a ball of radius 2n(epsilon)+1 about any xi in the epsilon net, but clearly this ball does not contain xi+2n(epsilon)+3. so R is not totally bounded, is this okay?
