Suppose the sequences (xn),(yn), and (zn) satisfy
xn≤yn≤zn for all n≥N0.
If lim xn= lim zn=ℓ, then (yn) is convergent and its limit is also ℓ.

Given ε > 0, there are N1,N2∈N such that
∣xn−ℓ∣<ε for all n≥N1
∣zn−ℓ∣<ε for all n≥N2.
Now we define N = max{N0,N1,N2}, and note that
n≥N⇒n≥N0, n≥N1, n≥N2⇒ xn≤yn≤zn, ℓ−ε<xn<ℓ+ε, ℓ−ε<zn<ℓ+ε
⇒ ℓ−ε<xn≤yn≤zn<ℓ+ε
⇒ ℓ−ε<yn<ℓ+ε
⇒ ∣yn−ℓ∣<ε,
which means yn→ℓ.
