The Real Line and Euclidean Space Are Separable

The rationals form a countable dense subset of the real line, and the rational tuples a countable dense subset of Euclidean space, so both are separable metric spaces.

Statement

In the setting of Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices, let k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N}, and let dEd_{E} be the Euclidean distance on Rk\mathbb{R}^{k}.

The real line. The real line (R,dR)(\mathbb{R},d_{\mathbb{R}}) is a separable metric space.

Euclidean space. (Rk,dE)(\mathbb{R}^{k},d_{E}) is a separable metric space.
