\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(x^{2} + 2 x\right)

Limit(x^2 + 2*x, x, oo, dir='-')

Detail solution

Let's take the limit

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(x^{2} + 2 x\right)

Let's divide numerator and denominator by x^2:

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(x^{2} + 2 x\right)

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{1 + \frac{2}{x}}{\frac{1}{x^{2}}}\right)

Do Replacement

u = \frac{1}{x}

then

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{1 + \frac{2}{x}}{\frac{1}{x^{2}}}\right) = \lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(\frac{2 u + 1}{u^{2}}\right)

\frac{2 \cdot 0 + 1}{0} = \infty

The final answer:

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(x^{2} + 2 x\right) = \infty

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
