$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(8 - x^{3}\right)$$
Limit(8 - x^3, x, oo, dir='-')
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(8 - x^{3}\right)$$
Let's divide numerator and denominator by x^3:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(8 - x^{3}\right)$$ =
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{-1 + \frac{8}{x^{3}}}{\frac{1}{x^{3}}}\right)$$
Do Replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{x}$$
then
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{-1 + \frac{8}{x^{3}}}{\frac{1}{x^{3}}}\right) = \lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(\frac{8 u^{3} - 1}{u^{3}}\right)$$
=
$$\frac{-1 + 8 \cdot 0^{3}}{0} = -\infty$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(8 - x^{3}\right) = -\infty$$
Lopital's rule
There is no sense to apply Lopital's rule to this function since there is no indeterminateness of 0/0 or oo/oo type
