Algebra, IV, p. 16, § 2. Zeros of polynomials

Assume that AA is an integral domain and let f,g∈A[X]f, g \in A[X], of degrees ≤n\leq n. If there exist n+1n + 1 pairwise distinct elements x1,…,xn+1x_1, \ldots, x_{n+1} of AA such that f(xi)=g(xi)f(x_i) = g(x_i) for 1≤i≤n+11 \leq i \leq n + 1, then f=gf = g.

It suffices to apply Th. 1 to f−gf - g.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
