In this question, $u$ denotes an endomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^n$ that is self-adjoint positive definite. We propose to prove that there exists a unique endomorphism $v$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ that is self-adjoint, positive definite, such that $v^2 = u$.
Show that there exists a polynomial $Q$ with real coefficients such that $v = Q(u)$.
