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

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x}{1 - 3 x^{2}}\right) = 0$$
Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
oo/-oo,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} x = \infty$$
and limit for the denominator is
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(1 - 3 x^{2}\right) = -\infty$$
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x}{1 - 3 x^{2}}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} x}{\frac{d}{d x} \left(1 - 3 x^{2}\right)}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- \frac{1}{6 x}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- \frac{1}{6 x}\right)$$
=
$$0$$
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)
