This is the question I'm stumbling with:
When $|\alpha| < 1$ and $|\beta| < 1$, show that:
$$\left|\cfrac{\alpha - \beta}{1-\bar{\alpha}\beta}\right| < 1$$
The chapter that contains this question contains (among others) the triangle inequalities:
$$\left||z_1| - |z_2|\right| \le |z_1 + z_2| \le |z_1| + |z_2| $$
I've tried to use the triangle inequalities to increase the dividend and/or decrease the divisor:
$$\left|\cfrac{\alpha - \beta}{1-\bar{\alpha}\beta}\right| < \cfrac{|\alpha| +|\beta|}{\left|1-|\bar{\alpha}\beta|\right|}$$
But it's not clear if or why that would be smaller than one. I've also tried to multiply the equation by the conjugated divisor $\cfrac{1-\alpha\bar{\beta}}{1-\alpha\bar{\beta}}$, which gives a real divisor, but the equation does not appear solvable.
Any hint would be much appreciated.
