Norm of $f$ in a dual space space $(ell^{infty})^{*}$

For $x in ell^{infty}$, let $f(x)= sum_{n in mathbb{N}}x_{n}2^{-n}$ determine the norm of $f$ in $(ell^{infty})^{*}$ (the dual space of $(ell^{infty})$.



Notes: I think I need to related this back to the fact that $(ell^{infty})^{*}$ is isometrically isomorphic to $ell^{1}$ so I know there is some map T such that the norm of T$x$ in the dual space is the norm of $x$ in $ell^{1}$, but I'm not sure how to relate this back to find the norm of $f$.

    $(ell^infty)^*$ is far from being isomorphic to $ell^1$.

We know that $f$ is the image of $(a_n)$, where $a_n=2^{-n}$, under the isometric embedding $i:ell^1to (ell^infty)^*$, so we simply need to compute $|f|_1$. This is $1$.



Alternatively, we know that $|f|ge |f(1)|=1$, and then you just need an upper bound by $1$.
