 lim (-7 - x)

$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- x - 7\right)$$
Limit(-7 - x, x, oo, dir='-')
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- x - 7\right)$$
Let's divide numerator and denominator by x:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- x - 7\right)$$ =
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{-1 - \frac{7}{x}}{\frac{1}{x}}\right)$$
Do Replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{x}$$
then
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{-1 - \frac{7}{x}}{\frac{1}{x}}\right) = \lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(\frac{- 7 u - 1}{u}\right)$$
=
$$\frac{-1 - 0}{0} = -\infty$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- x - 7\right) = -\infty$$
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
