We define the sequence of polynomials $\left(P_n\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ by: $$\left\{\begin{array}{l} P_0 = 1 \\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N}^*, \quad P_n = [X(X-1)]^n \end{array}\right.$$ Moreover, we set: $$\forall (P, Q) \in (\mathbb{R}[X])^2, \quad \langle P, Q \rangle = \int_0^1 P(t) Q(t) \, dt$$
Show that the map $(P, Q) \mapsto \langle P, Q \rangle$ is an inner product on $\mathbb{R}[X]$.
