Limit((x + cos(x))/x, x, oo, dir='-')
Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
oo/oo,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(x + \cos{\left(x \right)}\right) = \infty$$
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.
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x + \cos{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} \left(x + \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)}{\frac{d}{d x} x}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(1 - \sin{\left(x \right)}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(1 - \sin{\left(x \right)}\right)$$
=
$$1$$
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)
