#lim_(x->oo)((x^3*sin(1/x)-2x^2)/(1+3x^2))=-1/3#

Explanation:

#lim_(x->oo)((x^3*sin(1/x)-2x^2)/(1+3x^2))#
#=lim_(x->oo)((x^3*sin(1/x))/(1+3x^2))-lim_(x->oo)((2x^2)/(1+3x^2))#
#=lim_(x->oo)((-xcos(1/x)+3x^2*sin(1/x))/(6x))-2/3#
#=-1/6-2/3+lim_(x->oo)((-cos(1/x)/x^2)/(-2/x^2))#
#=1/6-2/3+1/2#
#=-1/3#

Here's how it works:

  1. Separate a constant value from the numerator. (line 2)

  2. Apply the *L'Hopital's rule to the indefinite form (line 3) (Hope you've learned this at school:)

  3. Since #lim_(x->oo)(1/x)=0#, #cos(1/x)=1#
