A Cluster Point of a Sequence in a Metric Space is the Limit of a Subsequence

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, let (xm)m∈N(x_m)_{m\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence in XX, and let x∈Xx\in X be a cluster point of (xm)m∈N(x_m)_{m\in\mathbb{N}} in (X,d)(X,d). Let (εk)k∈N(\varepsilon_k)_{k\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence in the real numbers with 0<εk0<\varepsilon_k for every k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N}.

1. There is a strictly increasing sequence (nk)k∈N(n_k)_{k\in\mathbb{N}} in N\mathbb{N}, in the sense of Subsequence of a Sequence in a Set, such that

d(xnk,x)<εkfor every k∈N.d(x_{n_k},x)<\varepsilon_k\qquad\text{for every }k\in\mathbb{N}.

2. If moreover (εk)k∈N(\varepsilon_k)_{k\in\mathbb{N}} has limit 00, then for any such (nk)k∈N(n_k)_{k\in\mathbb{N}} the subsequence (xnk)k∈N(x_{n_k})_{k\in\mathbb{N}} converges to xx in (X,d)(X,d).
