Limit(x/(3 + 7*x), x, oo, dir='-')
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x}{7 x + 3}\right)$$
Let's divide numerator and denominator by x:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x}{7 x + 3}\right)$$ =
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{7 + \frac{3}{x}}$$
Do Replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{x}$$
then
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{7 + \frac{3}{x}} = \lim_{u \to 0^+} \frac{1}{3 u + 7}$$
=
$$\frac{1}{0 \cdot 3 + 7} = \frac{1}{7}$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x}{7 x + 3}\right) = \frac{1}{7}$$
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
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(7 x + 3\right) = \infty$$
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x}{7 x + 3}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} x}{\frac{d}{d x} \left(7 x + 3\right)}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{7}$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{7}$$
=
$$\frac{1}{7}$$
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)
