Bounding || zx - yz || given that || x - y || < M in a Banach algebra.
2
$begingroup$
Let $ X $ be an Banach algebra (not necessarily commutative), and let $ x, y, z in X $ . Suppose that $ | x - y | < M $ . I want to bound $ | zx - yz | $ in terms of $ M $ by writing $ zx - yz $ as a product of terms including the term $ x - y $ , but I don't see how to do so (or if it is even possible). If it is possible, I am assuming it is just an elementary factoring trick that I am blanking out on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
