Homework Statement .
Let ##X## be a complete metric space and consider ##C(X)## the space of continuous functions from ##X## to ##\mathbb R## with the metric ##d_{\infty}##. Suppose that for every ##x \in X##, the set ##\{f(x): f \in C(X)\}## is bounded in ##\mathbb R##. Prove that there exist an open set ##U \subset X## and ##C>0## such that ##\forall x \in U## and ##\forall f \in C(X)##, ##|f(x)|\leq C##. The attempt at a solution.
I am totally lost with this problem. I am having trouble understanding what I am trying to prove here. Would the proof of this statement mean that ##C(X)## is bounded restricted to some subset of ##X##? Can anyone suggest me where to begin? A lot of information is given in the statement: ##X## is complete, the functions are continuous, etc, but I don't know how to properly use all these facts.
