There are two cases to consider
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(1) if a = b, then a^2 = b^2 and sqrt(a) = sqrt(b)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(2) if a < b, then b-a > 0 and b+a > 0. By closure under addition
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(b-a)(b+a) > 0 and b^2 > a^2 or a^2 < b^2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a > 0 then b > 0, a < b then take sqrt of both sides of \"<\", sqrt(a) < sqrt(b)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
