Limit(x^(-5), x, oo, dir='-')
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x^{5}}$$
Let's divide numerator and denominator by x^5:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x^{5}}$$ =
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{1}{x^{5}}\right)$$
Do Replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{x}$$
then
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{1}{x^{5}}\right) = \lim_{u \to 0^+} u^{5}$$
=
$$0^{5} = 0$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x^{5}} = 0$$
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
