Homework Statement


I have to show that l1, l2 and linfinity are norms


The Attempt at a Solution



Do you just go through the conditions for norm spaces ie:
1. ||x||>0, ||x|| = 0 iff x = 0
2.triangle inequality
3.||cx|| < |c|||x||

if the space satisfies these conditions it is a norm??

Yes, that's right.
 
You do just verify the points of the definition of a norm, but your 3rd point is a bit, off i believe there should be equality.
