MHB Is the Triangle Inequality Valid for Natural Numbers and Complex Numbers?

[Dustinsfl]

I am trying to show $|(n+z)^2|\leq (n -|z|)^2$ where is complex

$|(n+z)^2| = |n^2 + 2nz + z^2| \leq n^2 + 2n|z| + |z|^2$ But I can't figure out the connection for the final piece.

I don't think that you really mean that.
$|(2+i)^2|=|3+4i|=5$
$(2)^2-|i|^2=3$

$|(2+i)^2|=|3+4i|=5$
$(2)^2-|i|^2=3$

This may help (below) then but I figure the above was just a straight application.
$$
\sum_{n = N+1}^{ \infty}\frac{1}{(z+n)^2}
$$
$R>0$ and $N>2R$. For the inequality, we are assuming $|z|<R$. Additionally, $n>N$.

So I want to show
$$
\left|\frac{1}{(z+n)^2}\right|\leq\frac{1}{(n-|z|^)2}
$$
So if that is true, then $|(z+n)^2|\leq (n -|z|)^2$.

$|(n + z)^2|\leq n^2 + 2n|z| + |z|^2\leq n^2 - 2n|z| + |z|^2\leq (n - |z|)^2$

Is this correct?

Are n and z both complex? Or is only z complex?
