For a normed vector space $(V,\|\cdot\|_{V})$, let $A\subseteq V$ be compact, and let $(C(A,\mathbb{R}),\|\cdot\|_{\infty})$ be the space of continuous functions from $A$ to $\mathbb{R}$ with respect to the sup-norm. How can I use specifically the Weierstrass M-Test, and facts about absolutely convergent series in normed vector spaces to show that $(C(A,\mathbb{R}),\|\cdot\|_{\infty})$ is a Banach Space?
Can I assume that I have an arbitrary absolutely convergent series $\Bigl(\sum_{k=0}^n f_{k}\Bigr)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ in $(C(A,\mathbb{R}),\|\cdot\|_{\infty})$, and then just let $M_n=\|f_n\|_{\infty}$ and then apply the M-Test to show that the sequence converges?

    Yes, that's the idea. Absolute convergence implying convergence is equivalent to completeness in normed linear spaces, see here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2180369/absolute-convergence-implies-convergence-in-complete-spaces – Theo Bendit Apr 04 '19 at 00:21

    If a sequence of continuous functions $(F_n)$ converges uniformly then the limit $F$ is continuous, this is a well-known exercice $|F(x)-F(a)|\le 2|F-F_n|\infty + |F_n(x)-F_n(a)|$. For $n$ large enough $|F-F_n|\infty < \epsilon/3$ and for $x$ close enough to $a$, $|F_n(x)-F_n(a)| < \epsilon/3$ – reuns Apr 04 '19 at 00:24
