In the topology,Let $X={1,2,3}$ and let $d:X times X to[0,+ ∞)$ be a function defined by formulas

Let $X={1,2,3}$ and let $d:X times X to[0,+infty)$ be a function defined by formulas:
$$
d(1,1)=d(2,2)=d(3,3)=0,\
d(1,2)=d(2,1)=d(1,3)=d(3,1)=1,\
d(2,3)=d(3,2)=3.$$
Check if $d$ is a distance function on $X$.

What have you tried so far? Do you remember the definition of distance functions?

To check that $d$ is a distance on $X$ you need:
1) $d(x,y)geq 0$ $forall x,y in X$ and $d(x,y)=0$ iff $x=y$
2) $d(x,y)=d(y,x)$ $forall x,y in X$
3) $d(x,y) leq d(x,z)+d(z,y)$ $forall x,y,z in X$
The first line of formulas gives you 1), the second line gives you 2), but then
$3=d(2,3) leq d(2,1)+d(1,3)=1+1=2$ and that is a contradiction. Therefore $d$ is not a distance
