Norms Equivalent to Absolute Value on Rational Numbers

Theorem
Let $\alpha \in \R_{\gt 0}$.

Let $\norm{\,\cdot\,}:\Q \to \R$ be the mapping defined by:
 * $\forall x \in \Q: \norm{x} = \size {x}^\alpha$

where $\size {x}$ is the absolute value of $x$ in $\Q$.

Then:
 * $\norm{\,\cdot\,}$ is a norm on $\Q$ $\,\,\alpha \le 1$

Necessary Condition
Suppose $\alpha \le 1$.

It is shown that $\norm{\,\cdot\,}$ satisfies the norm axioms (N1)-(N3).

(N1) Positive Definiteness
Let $x \in \Q$.

(N2) Multiplicativity
Let $x, y \in \Q$.
