Exercise 6.8.2

Answers

The property 1 comes from the definition of a bilinear form. The property 2 comes from that Lx(0) = Rx(0) = 0. The property 3 comes from the computation

H(x + y,z + w) = H(x,z + w) + H(y,z + w)
= H(x,z) + H(x,w) + H(y,z) + H(y,w).

Finally, the condition in the definition of a bilinear form is symmetric for the first and the second component. Thus, we get the property 4.
