Given a function \( f \) and a point \( {z}_{0} \), suppose that\n\n(a) \( f \) is analytic throughout a neighborhood \( {N}_{0} \) of \( {z}_{0} \) ;\n\n(b) \( f\left( z\right) = 0 \) at each point \( z \) of a domain \( D \) or line segment \( L \) containing \( {z}_{0} \) (Fig. 90).\n\nThen \( f\left( z\r...
We begin the proof with the observation that under the stated conditions, \( f\left( z\right) \equiv 0 \) in some neighborhood \( N \) of \( {z}_{0} \) . For, otherwise, there would be a deleted neighborhood of \( {z}_{0} \) throughout which \( f\left( z\right) \neq 0 \), according to Theorem 2 ; and that would be inco...
