$|ta+(1-t)b|^2=t|a|^2+(1-t)|b|^2-t(1-t)|a-b|^2$, Is that true?
$begingroup$
Let $|cdot|$ be the euclidean norm on $mathbb{R^n}$.
Let $a,b in mathbb{R^n}$,
My question is do we always have for all $tin [0,1]$ , the following identity ?
$$|ta+(1-t)b|^2=t|a|^2+(1-t)|b|^2-t(1-t)|a-b|^2$$
I tried to test it for $t=1/2$ and it gives me the parallelogram identity.

The identity can be proved by noting that $||x||^2 = xcdot x$, hence we have
$$begin{align}
||ta+(1-t)b||^2 &= (ta+(1-t)b)cdot (ta+(1-t)b) \
&= t^2 acdot a + 2t(1-t)acdot b + (1-t)^2 b cdot b \
&= tacdot a + (1-t)bcdot b-t(1-t)acdot a - t(1-t)bcdot b) + 2t(1-t)acdot b\
&= tacdot a + (1-t)bcdot b-t(1-t)(acdot a - 2acdot b + bcdot b) \
&= tacdot a + (1-t)bcdot b-t(1-t)(a-b)cdot (a-b) \
&=t||a||^2+(1-t)||b||^2-t(1-t)||a-b||^2
end{align}$$

The identity can be proved by noting that $||x||^2 = xcdot x$, hence we have
$$begin{align}
||ta+(1-t)b||^2 &= (ta+(1-t)b)cdot (ta+(1-t)b) \
&= t^2 acdot a + 2t(1-t)acdot b + (1-t)^2 b cdot b \
&= tacdot a + (1-t)bcdot b-t(1-t)acdot a - t(1-t)bcdot b) + 2t(1-t)acdot b\
&= tacdot a + (1-t)bcdot b-t(1-t)(acdot a - 2acdot b + bcdot b) \
&= tacdot a + (1-t)bcdot b-t(1-t)(a-b)cdot (a-b) \
&=t||a||^2+(1-t)||b||^2-t(1-t)||a-b||^2
end{align}$$
