Existence and Uniqueness of Nonnegative k-th Roots of Nonnegative Real Numbers

For every natural number k and every nonnegative real number x there is exactly one nonnegative real number whose k-th power is x.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N} and x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R} with x≥0x\ge0.

There is exactly one y∈Ry\in\mathbb{R} with y≥0y\ge0 and yk=xy^{k}=x.
