Self note on Linear Maps and a bit of algebra


Self note on Linear maps of the following type:  Let x in R and let a be constant, and let L be a linear map, then if L(a*x/|x|) < 1, then we have a*L(x/|x|) < 1, and multiplying by |x| on both sides, we have a*|x|*L(x/|x|) < |x|.  Given linearity of L, however, we can write a*L(x/|x| +...{|x|times}...+x/|x|)= a*L(|x|*x/|x|) < |x|.  Then a*L(x) < |x|.  Any issues problems with this (normally one might expect |x| to be an integer in applying linearity here, or in other words when dealing with irrationals should there be any issues applying linearity in this manner?
