Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
oo/oo,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
lim⁡x→∞log⁡(x)=∞\lim_{x \to \infty} \log{\left(x \right)} = \infty
and limit for the denominator is
lim⁡x→∞x=∞\lim_{x \to \infty} x = \infty
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
lim⁡x→∞(log⁡(x)x)\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right)

It can be seen that we have applied Lopital's rule (we have taken derivatives with respect to the numerator and denominator) 1 time(s)
