Therefore it's been verified in any case so that .
Multiplication in Absolute Value
If both are positive then
if both are negative, then their product is positive so it follows as above
if one of is positive and the other negative, without loss of generality assume that and then their product is negative so
if any one of is zero, then
Value Between Positive and Negative Equivalence
Let where
we want to prove that . Case one, if then and since we already know that then we obtain that as needed. In the second case if then so we want to show that which is the same as which we know by assumption as well.
Suppose that if then and so we're really assuming that thereforesince then by chaining inequalities we get which implies as needed. Now for the case of then we've assumed that now is positive and by symmetrically following our previous case with in place of we see that and so again, as needed.
Maximum is Always Bigger than It's arguments
Let then
Value Between Implies It's Absolute Value is Less than the Max of the Others
Suppose that then
Let's recall that , and on the other hand that combining inequalities, that says therefore as needed.
Suppose that for contradiction, then , but either or , so this yields a contradiction.
changing sign doesn't change absolute value
Let then
absolute value is greater than itself
if then
if then so this is true since and
absolute value is greater than the negative version of itself
using the fact and subbing in we obtain the result

Triangle Inequality
Suppose that , then we have
Generalized Triangle Inequality
Suppose that is finite then
We prove it true by induction based on the size of . Base case is covered by the regular triangle inequality. Now suppose that it holds true for we'll show it holds true for , let , then we have since . Now by the regular triangle inequality we obtain that
Isolate Absolute value Inequality
Let then implies that
We have the following: Where in the second last line we used the triangle inequality
