Squeeze Theorem
The Squeeze Play Theorem (also called the Squeeze Theorem or the Sandwich Theorem) is a relatively simple theorem that deals with calculus, specifically limits.
Theorem
Suppose is between and for all in the neighborhood of . If and approach some common limit L as approaches , then .
Proof
If is between and for all in the neighborhood of , then either or for all in the neighborhood of . Since the second case is basically the first case, we just need to prove the first case.
If increases to , then goes to either or , where . If decreases to , then goes to either or , where . Since can't go to or , then must go to . Therefore, .
