How are definition 1 and definition 2 equivalent?

Definition 1:[Reference: Metric spaces, Micheal O Searcoid]



Suppose $V$ is a linear space over $mathbb R$ or $mathbb C $. Suppose $||·||$ is a real function
defined on $V$ such that, for each $x, y ∈ V$ and each scalar $α$, we have



$||x|| ≥ 0$ with equality if, and only if, $x = 0$;



$||αx|| = |α| ||x||$; and



• (triangle inequality) $||x + y|| ≤ ||x|| + ||y||$.



Then $||·||$ is called a norm on $V.$



Definition 2:[Reference: Introduction to topology and modern analysis, George F. Simmons]



Suppose $V$ is a linear space over $mathbb R$ or $mathbb C $. Suppose $||·||$ is a real function
defined on $V$ such that, for each $x, y ∈ V$, we have



$||x|| ≥ 0$ with equality if, and only if, $x = 0$;



$||-x|| = ||x||$; and



• (triangle inequality) $||x + y|| ≤ ||x|| + ||y||$.



Then $||·||$ is called a norm on $V.$




How does the definition 1 and definition 2 are equivalent?



Suppose $||·||$ satisfies the three conditions in the definition 1.
It obviously satisfies the three conditions of definition 2. Only
change in the definition is the second condition only.



Suppose $||·||$ satisfies the three conditions in the definition 2.

each scalar $α $ scalar and $xin V$ , $||alpha x||=|alpha|||x||$. Suppose $alpha in mathbb R$,



Case 1:- $alpha=0$, then condition (2) of definition (1) satisfies
trivially.



I don't know how to proceed further.

    As SmileyCraft said, the definitions are not equivalent. I believe the first is the standard one. I would guess that the motivation for the second is that those are the only properties of a norm that are used in showing that a norm induces a metric (absolute homogeneity is only needed in the case $alpha=-1$). So it is sufficient to induce a metric.

They are not. For example $|x|=0$ for $x=0$ and $|x|=1$ otherwise obeys definition 2, but not definition 1.
