extend the lin. independent set to a basis of X (you may need the axiom of choice if )

and define and extend the definition to all X by linearity { the definition field)

Then

More high-powered (assuming you can use this theorem--which you probably can't) you can use the fact that in general .

This isn't always continous if the basis you picked is a Hamel basis, and not all spaces have a Shauder basis.

Hint: There is an embedding of X in its double dual.

Perhaps the OP mean the algebraic dual and not the continuous dual.

Since X is assumed normed, I'm assuming he/she means the continous dual. I guess we'll have to ask him/her to clarify.
