In other words, if a has a square root, then it has two square roots, one positive one negative. and Also, it has at most two because if x2 = a and y2 = a, then x 2 = y2 and (x - y)(x + y) = 0, and so, by Theorem 1.11, either x = y or x = -yo Thus, if a has a square root, it has exactly two. an important The existence of at least one square root can be deducedfrom theorem in calculus known as the intermediate-value theorem for continuous functions, but it root can be proved directly from may be instructive to see how the existence of a square was

The successfulaccomplishments of these men were primarily due to the fact that were able to fuse the calculus they together integral with the second main branch of calculus, differential calculus. The central idea of differential calculus is the notion of derivative. Like the integral, the derivative from a of finding the tangent originated problem in geometry-the problem line at a point of a curve. Unlike the integral, however, the derivative evolved very late in the history of mathematics. The was not formulated in the 17th until concept early when the French mathematician Pierre to determine de the Fermat, century attempted maxima and minima of certain functions. special Fermat's idea, basically can be understood if we refer to the curve in very simple, 4.1.

Many problems can a solution function which satisfies solving equation, being any the equation. Ordinarily an equation of this sort has many different and it is solutions, difficult to find them all. It is easier to seek only those solutions which have usually very such as or For the most these some additional continuity differentiability. property part, We shall adopt this are the only solutions we are interested in anyway. of view and point determine all differentiablesolutions of (6.4). But first let us try to deduce what information without any further restrictions on f we can from alone, (6.4) is zero everywhere on the real axis. In fact, of (6.4) is the function that One solution is defined for all real numbers. To prove let f this is the only solution of (6.4)that this, = of f, then we may be any function that satisfies (6.4). If 0 is in the domain 0 in put y = = and for in this 0 x the domain to (6.4) obtainf(O) f(x) + f(O), thatf(x) every implies In other words, if 0 is in the domain off, then f must be identically zero. Therefore, off of (6.4) that is not identically zero cannot be defined at O.))) a solution at

Now will we show that given system, Axioms 4, 5, and 6 are also satisfied. Since (0, 0) + (a, b) = (a, b) for all complex numbers (a, b), the complex number (0, 0) is an identity element for addition. It is called the zero complex number. Similarly, the (1, 0) is an
