Modulus Inequalities

97 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to prove the following inequality

$|\frac{|(x|x|-|x|)|}{|x|}| \leq 1-|x|$

This is the calculation that I'm doing;

$|\frac{|(x|x|-|x|)|}{|x|}|= \frac{|x|^2-|x|}{x} \le \frac{|x|^2+|x|}{x}= |x|+1$

How should I proceed from here?

I think you can start from this $$ \left|\frac{(| x|x| - |x||)}{|x|}\right| = \left|\left( \left|\frac{x|x|-|x|}{|x|}\right|\right)\right| = \left| \left|x-1\right|\right| =| 1-x| \le 1-|x|. $$ Last inequality hold because of $x \in (0,1)$.
