Theorem sqeq0i

Description: A number is zero iff its square is zero. (Contributed by NM, 2-Oct-1999)

Ref Expression
Hypothesis sqval.1 𝐴 ∈ ℂ
Assertion sqeq0i ( ( 𝐴 ↑ 2 ) = 0 ↔ 𝐴 = 0 )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 sqval.1 𝐴 ∈ ℂ
2 sqeq0 ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ → ( ( 𝐴 ↑ 2 ) = 0 ↔ 𝐴 = 0 ) )
3 1 2 ax-mp ( ( 𝐴 ↑ 2 ) = 0 ↔ 𝐴 = 0 )
