General form of the triangle inequality

46 Views Asked by At

We know that $$|z_1+z_2|\ge||z_1|-|z_2||$$ What about: $$|z_1+z_2+\dots+z_n|\ge||z_1|-|z_2|-\dots-|z_n||$$ Is it correct to generalize the first inequality? How to prove it by induction? What I get is $$|z_1+z_2+\dots+z_m+z_{m+1}|\ge|z_1+z_2+\dots+z_m|-|z_{m+1}||$$ $z_n$ are complex numbers.
