Proposition: Bounded Sequences

If a sequence is bounded above, then c = sup(aj) is finite. Moreover, given any > 0, there exists at least one integer k such that ak > c - (see picture).

If a sequence is bounded below, then c = inf(aj) is finite. Moreover, given any > 0, there exists at least one integer k such that ak < c + (see picture).
