I'm looking for a proof and/or a hint for this. I just got finished for $n=2$, but got stuck proving it for general $n$, apparently some background knowledge is required that's not present in the book.

Thanks, I already saw that. I'm looking for the general case of n>=2 though. Edited accordingly. – InsertNameHere Sep 18 '17 at 18:00

@InsertNameHere One of the solution at that link did answer the general question, if you would have read down to it. The one I linked to happens to be a very similar answer by the same user. Hopefully with this link, it will be harder to miss the general solution provided. – rschwieb Sep 18 '17 at 18:01
