Supremum of Subset

Theorem
Let $\left({S, \preceq}\right)$ be an ordered set.

Let $\left({S, \preceq}\right)$ admit a supremum.

Let $T \subseteq S$.

If $T$ also admits a supremum in $S$, then $\sup \left({T}\right) \preceq\sup \left({S}\right)$.

Proof
Let $B = \sup \left({S}\right)$.

Then $B$ is an upper bound for $S$.

As $T \subseteq S$, it follows by the definition of a subset that $x \in T \implies x \in S$.

Because $x \in S \implies x \preceq B$ (as $B$ is an upper bound for $S$) it follows that $x \in T \implies x \preceq B$.

So $B$ is an upper bound for $T$.

Therefore $B$ succeeds the supremum of $T$ in $S$, hence the result.
