I need the proof of squeeze lemma on sequences

[singedang2]

urgent! i need the proof of squeeze lemma on sequences

if y_n \leq x_n \leq z_n and y_n \rightarrow p and z_n \rightarrow p

then x_n \rightarrow p

Note. I'm not looking for the proof of the regular squeeze theorem. this is supposed to be a proof adapting the proof of squeeze theorem onto the sequences.

What have you tried? You'll need to use the epsilon delta definition of the limit.

It's really easy though.

how am i suppose to apply this into the sequences?

Do you know the definition of the limit of a sequence? It's very similar in form to the epsilon delta definition used for functions.

If a_n\le b_n\le c_n and \lim a_n= \lim c_n= L then lim b_n= L.

Since lim a_n= L, then, given any \epsilon for some N₁, if n> N₁, |a_n- L|< \epsilon. Since lim c_n= L, given any \epsilon for some N₂, if n> N₂, |c_n- L|< \epsilon. If n> larger of (N₁, N₂) what can you say about both a_n and c_n. What does that tell you about c_n?
