Theorem 3.2. Rudin functional analysis, $f_1 leq p$ on $M_1$
I cannot understand one small implication in such theorem
Suppose
(a) $M$ is a subspace of a real vector space $X$
(b) $p : X to mathbb{R}$ satisfies $$ p(x+y) leq p(x) + p(y)
> ;text{and}; p(tx) = tp(x) $$ if $x in X$ and $y in X, t geq 0$
(c) $f : M to mathbb{R}$ is linear and $f(x) leq p(x)$ on $M$.
Then there exists a linear $Lambda : X to mathbb{R}$ such that $$
Lambda x = f(x) ; , x in M $$ and $$
-p(-x) leq Lambda x leq p(x) ;,; x in X $$
Proof:
If $M neq X$ we pick $x_1 in X$,$x notin M$ and define
$$
M_1 = left{ x + t x_1 : x in M, t in mathbb{R}right}
$$
we have $M_1$ is a vector space. Moreover we can derive
$$
f(x) + f(y) leq p(x - x_1) + p(y - x_1)
$$
We define also $alpha$ as the least upper bound of $f(x) - p(x - x_1)$ (by varying $x in M$. We can write the two inequalities
$$
begin{array}{ll}
f(x) - alpha leq p(x - x_1) & (2)\
f(x) + alpha leq p(y - x_1) & (3)
end{array}
$$
And on $M_1$ we define
$$
f_1(x + tx_1) = f(x) + talpha ;;; (4)
$$
There's this specific bit I don't get
Take $t > 0$ replace $x$ by $t^{-1}x$ in (2) and $y$ by $t^{-1}y$ in
(3), and multiply the resulting inequalities by $t$. In combination
with (4) this proves that $f_1 leq p$ on $M_1$.
How exactly doing the mentioned steps we get $f_1 leq p$ on $M_1$?
Doing the steps mentioned I got
$$
f_1(x - talpha) + f_1(y + t alpha) = f_1(x + y) leq p(x - tx_1) + p(y + t x_1),
$$
But I still struggle to arrive at the same conclusion
Thank you

You are unnecessarily adding the two inequalities. If you consider them separately and look at the cases $t>0$ and $t<0$ you will get $f_1 leq p$ easily.
I missed that... Silly related question, is the purpose of this construction to prove that we can construct a space $M_1, M subset M_1$ and we can define a functional $f_1$ that extends $f$ on $M_1$? (I'm asking because the construction itself doesn't seem to be used explicitly later in the proof).

If you can extend it by 'one higher dimension' by this method then you can prove that maximal space to which you can get an extension is the whole of $X$. So this step is very important when you finish the proof of the theorem.

Ok but apart from that final point (important of course), Consider when we pick the collection $mathcal{P}$ of all ordered pairs $(M',f')$ where $M'$ is a subspace containing $M$ and $f'$ extends $f$ on $M'$. That collection isn't empty because of what we just proved, right?
– user8469759
Nov 28 at 10:32
It is not empty because $(M,f)$ is already in it!

Out of curiosity, the theorem states (in (c) ) $f(x) leq p(x)$, shouldn't it be $|f(x)| leq |p(x)|$? (I saw there's a typo in (b), I just wanna be sure (c) is correct as well).
