What is meant by saying that two norms on a real vector space are Lipschitz equivalent?

Show that any two norms on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} are Lipschitz equivalent. [You may assume that a continuous function on a closed bounded set in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} has closed bounded image.]

Show that f1=11f(x)dx\|f\|_{1}=\int_{-1}^{1}|f(x)| d x defines a norm on the space C[1,1]C[-1,1] of continuous real-valued functions on [1,1][-1,1]. Is it Lipschitz equivalent to the uniform norm? Justify your answer. Prove that the normed space (C[1,1],1)\left(C[-1,1],\|\cdot\|_{1}\right) is not complete.
