Is Analytic Continuation possible if we assume real analytic function

analytic-functionscomplex-analysispower series

I come across proof of analytic continuation.
As followsenter image description here

enter image description here

In this theorem Author uses only analytic property i.e existence of power series around some point.

I was thinking if in case of real function if we have such function i.e which has power series exapansion then it should posses analytical continution.

IS my right /Or where I am Missing?

Yes, this is true for analytic functions. Whether we're working over the real numbers or over the complex numbers is irrelevant.

However, this has nothing to do with analytic continuation. The statement that we are talking about here is the identity theorem.
