Proof
Because
has no zero in the interval and
holds, it follows, because of
fact,
that
is the only zero of
. Let
denote a
sequence
in
,
converging
to
.
For every
there exists, due to
fact,
applied to the interval
or
,
a
(in the interior[1]
of
,)
fulfilling
-

The sequence
converges also to
, so that, because of the condition, the right-hand side converges to
.
Therefore, also the left-hand side converges to
, and, because of
,
this means that
converges to
.

The
interior
of a
real interval
is the interval without the boundaries.
