# Math Help - Isometric

1. ## Isometric

Show that C[0,1] and C[a,b] are isometric.
Solution:
A mapping T of X into X' is said to be isometric if for all x, y in X
d'(Tx,Ty)=d(x,y)
C is continous [0,1] and [a,b] closed interval..
The distance on Function space C[a,b] is d(x,y)=max|x(t)-y(t)|

I couldnt procced from here....i need some help....

thanks

What if you did a mapping that bijectively took $[a,b]\to[0,1]$ in an increasing way, call this $g$, and you considered $T:C[a,b]\to C[0,1]$ defined by $Tf(x)=f(g(x))$?

3. Thank u very much...
But how can we prove that the map is bijective...i mean how can we see that it is one-to-one and onto...
