Limit((1 + 3*n)/(2 + n), n, oo, dir='-')
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{3 n + 1}{n + 2}\right)$$
Let's divide numerator and denominator by n:
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{3 n + 1}{n + 2}\right)$$ =
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{3 + \frac{1}{n}}{1 + \frac{2}{n}}\right)$$
Do Replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{n}$$
then
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{3 + \frac{1}{n}}{1 + \frac{2}{n}}\right) = \lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(\frac{u + 3}{2 u + 1}\right)$$
=
$$\frac{3}{0 \cdot 2 + 1} = 3$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{3 n + 1}{n + 2}\right) = 3$$
Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
oo/oo,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(3 n + 1\right) = \infty$$
and limit for the denominator is
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(n + 2\right) = \infty$$
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{3 n + 1}{n + 2}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d n} \left(3 n + 1\right)}{\frac{d}{d n} \left(n + 2\right)}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} 3$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} 3$$
=
$$3$$
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)
