Sketch the region in the plane consisting of all points (x,y) such that lx-yl + lxl - lyl ≤ 2
I don't know exactly the most appreciated solution to this kind of problem. Can you guys show me a clear answer and if possible, a careful graph please?

Hello and welcome to MHB, Kyle! :D

We ask that our users show what they have tried when posting questions, as this let's our helpers know where you are stuck or what you may be doing wrong, and this way we can offer you the best help possible.

Can you post your work so far?
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
