yet another proof of parallelogram law

Define $g(\epsilon)=\langle x+\epsilon y,x+\epsilon y\rangle$ , where $\epsilon$ is real. Then $g(\epsilon)=\langle x,x\rangle+\epsilon(\langle y,x\rangle+\langle x,y\rangle)% +\epsilon^{2}\langle y,y\rangle.$ Hence,

$\|x+y\|^{2}+\|x-y\|^{2}=g(1)+g(-1)=2\langle x,x\rangle+2\langle y,y\rangle=2\|% x\|^{2}+2\|y\|^{2}.$
