We have to show that for every xn,yn,znx_{n}, y_{n}, z_{n},

lR,nN,xnynznlimxn=limzn=l    limyn=l.\forall l \in \mathbb{R}, \forall n \in \mathbb{N}, \quad x_{n} \leq y_{n} \leq z_{n} \wedge \lim x_{n} = \lim z_{n} = l \implies \lim y_{n} = l.

Suppose, then, that we have a three sequences xn,yn,znx_{n}, y_{n}, z_{n} satisfying the condition

nN,xnynzn\forall n \in \mathbb{N}, \quad x_{n} \leq y_{n} \leq z_{n}

and for which

limxn=limzn=l.\lim x_{n} = \lim z_{n} = l.

By definition, for any ϵ>0\epsilon > 0, there exists N1N_1 for which

xnVϵ(l)x_{n} \in V_{\epsilon }(l)

when nN1n \geq N_1. Furthermore, there also exists N2N_2 for which the inequality holds for the sequence znz_{n}. That is,

N2N,nN,nN2    znVϵ(l)\exists N_2 \in \mathbb{N}, \forall n \in \mathbb{N}, \quad n \geq N_2 \implies z_{n} \in V_{\epsilon }(l)

When N=max{N1,N2}N = \max \{N_1, N_2\}, for every nNn \geq N, all terms in xnx_{n} and znz_{n} are in the ϵ\epsilon neighborhood centered at ll. However, we ought to remind ourselves that the inequality also holds for this neighborhood. That is,

nN,xnynzn.\forall n \geq N, \quad x_{n} \leq y_{n} \leq z_{n}.

Therefore, yny_{n} also belongs to this neighborhood nN\forall n \geq N. Thus, yny_{n} also converges to ll.
