Problem B-6 For k=1,2,…,nk=1,2, \ldots, n let zk=xk+iykz_{k}=x_{k}+i y_{k}, where the xkx_{k} and yky_{k} are real and i=−1i=\sqrt{-1}. Let rr be the absolute value of the real part of ±z12+z22+⋯+zn2\pm \sqrt{z_{1}^{2}+z_{2}^{2}+\cdots+z_{n}^{2}}

Prove that r<∣x1∣+∣x2∣+⋯+∣xn∣r<\left|x_{1}\right|+\left|x_{2}\right|+\cdots+\left|x_{n}\right|.
