Reason: Initial publication: a properly referenced replacement for thm:nonnegative-real-has-unique-square-root-2026a, whose statement carries no inline references (its dependency edge was a legacy additional_ref_labels artifact) and whose proof relies on a strict order relation that the site does not define. The statement here is the same, but the real numbers, the ordered field structure, the order and the least upper bound property are all referenced inline. · 711 chars · 4 deps · depth 3

Statement

Let R\mathbb{R} be the set of real numbers, which by that definition is an ordered field, with order relation \le, in which every nonempty subset that is bounded above has a least upper bound. Write 00 and 11 for the additive and multiplicative identities of the underlying field, x-x for the additive inverse of xx and x1x^{-1} for the multiplicative inverse of x0x\ne0; write xy=x+(y)x-y=x+(-y) and x2=xxx^{2}=x\cdot x.

Let aRa\in\mathbb{R} satisfy 0a0\le a. Then there is exactly one rRr\in\mathbb{R} such that

0randr2=a.0\le r\qquad\text{and}\qquad r^{2}=a .
