Show that Xn n in N has a sub sequence Xnk k in N with Xnk > k for all k in N

Ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since \( x_n \) is unbounded, then for for every \(k >0\) there is an element \( x_{n_k} >k\). In fact you can construct an increasing sub sequence ( x_{n_k} >k\). You can chose \( x_{n_k} >(k , x_{n_{k-1}}),\)

I don't understand :\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand what the k represents, like I can't wrap my head around it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is not the proof just explanation the "main" series: \[x_{n} , n \in N\] now the k thing: \[n_{k} , k \in N\] this is a series of NATURAL NUMBERS (the nk's) so \[x_{n_{k}}\] is the sub sequence

sorry i wrote series and meant sequence
