L1-, L2-, Linfty-Norm Proofs - Please Help!

Homework Statement



Show that ||x||1 < or = n||x||infinity and ||x||2 < or = sqrt(n)*||x||infinity for x exists in the set of all real numbers.


Homework Equations



||x||2 is defined here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/L2-Norm.html
||x||1 is defined here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/L1-Norm.html
||x||infinity is defined here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/L1-Norm.html

Sorry about posting links, but I have no idea how to get all the symbols (like the summation symbol) to show up on the forums!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Okay, what have you done? You can't just expect people to do your homework for you! I would also point out that "x exists in the set of all real numbers" makes little sense here. Do you mean that x is in Rn?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
