Prove that in any ordered field F, a2 + 1 > 0 for all a ∈ F. Conclude from this that if the equation x2 + 1 = 0 has a solution in a field, then that field cannot be ordered. (Thus it is not possible to define an order relation on the set of all complex numbers that will make it an ordered field.)
We need at least 10 more requests to produce the solution.
