Abstract

If a continuous function on a complete metric space has approximate roots and in a uniform manner at most one root, then it actually has a root. We validate this heuristic principle in Bishop-style constructive mathematics without countable choice, and thus can shed some more light on the role played by the completion when it comes to solving equations.
