Consider the following diagram

(9.12) 𝒰addκ¯​(𝒜)\textstyle{\underline{{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathrm{add}}^{\kappa}}({\mathcal{A}})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒰addκ¯​(ℬ)\textstyle{\underline{{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathrm{add}}^{\kappa}}({\mathcal{B}})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒰addκ¯​(ℬ)/𝒰addκ¯​(𝒜)\textstyle{\underline{{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathrm{add}}^{\kappa}}({\mathcal{B}})/\underline{{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathrm{add}}^{\kappa}}({\mathcal{A}})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒰addκ¯​(𝒜)\textstyle{\underline{{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathrm{add}}^{\kappa}}({\mathcal{A}})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒰addκ¯​(ℬ)\textstyle{\underline{{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathrm{add}}^{\kappa}}({\mathcal{B}})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒰addκ¯​(ℬ/𝒜).\textstyle{\underline{{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathrm{add}}^{\kappa}}({\mathcal{B}}/{\mathcal{A}})\,.}

By applying the functor (9.11) to the above diagram (9.12) we obtain by theorem 9.9 a diagram in 𝒮\mathcal{S}

(9.13) K⁡(𝒜)\textstyle{K({\mathcal{A}})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}K⁡(ℬ)\textstyle{K({\mathcal{B}})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}K⁡(ℬ)/K⁡(𝒜)\textstyle{K({\mathcal{B}})/K({\mathcal{A}})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}K⁡(𝒜)\textstyle{K({\mathcal{A}})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}K⁡(ℬ)\textstyle{K({\mathcal{B}})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}K⁡(ℬ/𝒜),\textstyle{K({\mathcal{B}}/{\mathcal{A}})\,,}

where the upper row is a homotopy cofiber sequence. Now, an argument analogous to the one used in the proof of proposition 7.19 (where we make use of Waldhausen’s fibration theorem) allow us to conclude that the lower row in the above diagram (9.13) is also a homotopy cofiber sequence. This completes the argument. ∎
