The Parallelogram Identity for Inner Product Spaces
We will now look at an important theorem. If V is an inner product space and u,v∈V then the sum of squares of the norms of the vectors u+v and u−v equals twice the sum of the squares of the norms of the vectors u and v, that is:
(1)
(u+v)2+(u−v)2=2(u)2+2)v)2
This important identity is known as the Parallelogram Identity, and has a nice geometric interpretation is we're working on the vector space R2:

We will now prove this theorem.
Theorem 1 (The Parallelogram Identity): Let V be an inner product space.
If u,v∈V then ∥u+v∥2+∥u−v∥2=2∥u∥2+2∥v∥2.
Proof: Let V be an inner product space and let u,v∈V. Noting that −1¯¯¯¯=−1 and we have that:
(2)
(u+v)2+(u−v)2=<u+v,
u+v>+<u−v,u−v>(u+v)2+(u−v)2=<u,
u>+<u,
v>+<v,
u>+<v,
v>+<u,
u>+<u,
−v>+<−v,
u>+<−v,
−v>(u+v)2+(u−v)2=2<u,
u>+2(−1)(−1¯¯¯¯<−v,
−v>+<u,
v>+<v,
u>−1¯¯¯¯<u,v>−<v,
u>(u+v)2+)u−v)2=2<u,
u>+2<v,
v>+<u,
v>+<v,
u>−<u,
v>−<v,
u(u+v)2+(u−v)2=2(u)2+2(v)2■
