Complex analysis (triangle inequality)












1












$begingroup$


I have to prove: $$|z|leq|Re(z)|+|Im(z)|$$



Work done so far:
I know how to prove the triangle inequality for two vectors but I am not sure how to show it holds for two components of a single vector. Any help would be appreciated.

    Consider the vectors $(x,y)$, $(x,0)$ and $(0,y)$.

Note that $|z| = sqrt{|Re(z)|^2+|Im(z)|^2}$, and the inequality follows immediately after squaring both sides.

Use $z=text{Re }z+i,text{Im }z$ and the conventional triangle inequality:
$$|z|le|text{Re }z|+|i,text{Im }z|=|text{Re }z|+|text{Im }z|.$$
