Prove the inner product property (IP1)

Proposition 2.2.2 (Inner product properties).
(IP1) The inner product is positive definite: (x, x) > 0 for all x E R", with
equality if and only if x = 0.
(IP2) The inner product is symmetric: (x, y) = (y, x) for all x, y E R".
(IP3) The inner product is bilinear:
(x + x',
y) =
(x, y) + (x', y), (ax, y) = a(x, y),
(x, y + y') = (x, y) + (x, y'), (x, by) = b(x, y)
for all a, b e R, x, x', y, y' E R".
