Is there a name of the rule that $ lVert x + z rVert^2 + lVert x - z rVert^2 = 2 lVert x rVert^2 + 2lVert z...

$begingroup$


I'm a bit new to real analysis. Today, I came across this particular equality, whcih seems obvious to me.
$$ lVert x + z rVert^2 + lVert x - z rVert^2 = 2 lVert x rVert^2 + 2lVert z rVert^2 $$
Is there a specific name for this?
