Verify that |x+y|<|x|+|y| by taking x= 2/3, y= -3/5.


Given: x= $\frac{2}{3}$, y= $\frac{-3}{5}$

To do: Verify that |x+y|<|x|+|y|

Solution:

|x+y|:

x + y = $\frac{2}{3} + \frac{-3}{5} = \frac{1}{15}$

|x + y| = $\frac{1}{15}$

|x| + |y|:


|x| = |$\frac{2}{3}$| = $\frac{2}{3}$

|y| = |$\frac{-3}{5}$| = $\frac{3}{5}$

|x| + |y| = $\frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{19}{15}$

So, we can observe that |x + y| < |x| + |y|
