If B is a subalgebra of A, conclude that B closure is a subalgebra of A
$begingroup$
If B is a subalgebra of A, conclude that $bar{B}$ is a subalgebra of A.
This is from Real Analysis by N. L Carothers chapter 12 exercise 3. The purpose of this is to lead up to the Stone Weierstrass theorem. I found this question but I cannot understand the answer.
The first part of this question requires us to show
for f, g, h, k $in$ A $lvertlvert{fg - hk}lvertvert$ $leq$ $lvertlvert{f}lvertvert$$lvertlvert{g - k}lvertvert$ + $lvertlvert{k}lvertvert$$lvertlvert{f - h}lvertvert$. The second part required us to show that the multiplication operator is continuous.
Thanks again.

A map $Phi$ is continuous if and only if $Phi(overline{E})subset overline{Phi(E)}$ for all $E$. Now you can use the argument from the answer to the linked question to finish the proof.

@MaoWao By showing continuity of the multiplication operation we have ensured that $bar{B}$ is closed under multiplication. Therefore, $bar{B}$ satisfies the properties of an algebra coupled with the fact $bar{B}$ $subseteq$ A this now makes it a subalgebra of A.

One also has to show that $bar B$ is closed under addition and scalar multiplication. But maybe you have done this before. Anyway, the argument is very similar.

$fg-hk=f(g-k)+(f-h)k$. Using triangle inequality and the fact that $|xy|leq |x|y|$ we get $|fg-hk| leq |f(g-k)|+|(f-h)k| leq |f| |g-k|+|f-h| |k|$. To prove that the multiplication map $(f,g) to fg$ is continuous w ehave to show that $f_n to f$ adn $g_n to g$ together imply $f_ng_n to fg$. For this note that $ |f_ng_n-fg| leq |f_n| |g_n-g|+|f_n-f| |g|$. Also $|f_n| leq |f_n-f| +|f|<1+|f|$ for $n$ sufficiently large. Now can you complete the argument?
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Yes, this is what I got up to proving continuity of multiplication. However, I just do not see how continuity of multiplication coupled with your last inequality of ||$f_{n}$|| $leq$ 1 + $||f_{n}||$ leads to $bar{B}$ being a subset of A. I feel like I am missing something fundamental in my understanding. Thank you for the help.
