$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} \frac{1}{x^{2} + 4}$$
Limit(1/(4 + x^2), x, -oo)
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} \frac{1}{x^{2} + 4}$$
Let's divide numerator and denominator by x^2:
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} \frac{1}{x^{2} + 4}$$ =
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{1}{x^{2} \left(1 + \frac{4}{x^{2}}\right)}\right)$$
Do Replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{x}$$
then
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{1}{x^{2} \left(1 + \frac{4}{x^{2}}\right)}\right) = \lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(\frac{u^{2}}{4 u^{2} + 1}\right)$$
=
$$\frac{0^{2}}{4 \cdot 0^{2} + 1} = 0$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} \frac{1}{x^{2} + 4} = 0$$
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
