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

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

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