Since the common radius of convergence is infinite, the termwise differentiation of a power series theorem applies on the entire real line. For the even series, differentiation and the index change $m=n-1$ giveThe odd series similarly gives $g^{\prime }(x)={\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }(-1{)}^n{x}^{2n}/(2n)!=f(x)$. Thus $\boxed{f^{\prime }=-g,g^{\prime }=f}$ everywhere. By the product rule,The mean value theorem implies that a differentiable function with zero derivative is constant on the real line. At zero, the series give $f(0)=1$ and $g(0)=0$. Consequently $\boxed{f(x{)}^2+g(x{)}^2=1\text{ for every }x\in \mathbb{R}}$. This derives the identity from the power series without assuming a trigonometric identity in advance.

For $P(x)=x^3+4x-7$, the derivative $P^{\prime }(x)=3x^2+4$ is positive everywhere, so the mean value theorem makes $P$ strictly increasing. Since a polynomial is a continuous function, the intermediate value theorem and the values $P(1)=-2$, $P(2)=9$ locate its unique real root in $(1,2)$. By the rational root theorem, a rational root of a monic integer polynomial must be an integer. There is no integer in $(1,2)$, so the unique real root is an irrational number. The denominator part of that theorem also follows directly: if $a/b$ in lowest terms were a root, $a^3+4a{b}^2-7b^3=0$ would force $b\mid a^3$, hence $b=1$.
