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

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x}{2} + 1\right) = \infty$$
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
