SUMMARY

The limit in question, lim (3^x (3*(x^2)+2) / (7+x)!) as x approaches infinity, can be solved without using series by applying Stirling's approximation. The discussion highlights that for sufficiently large x, the expression 3*x^2 + 2 is bounded above by 3^x, allowing for the use of the squeeze theorem. This approach effectively demonstrates that the limit evaluates to 0 as x approaches infinity.

Any way to solve the following limit without using series:

lim (3^x (3*(x^2)+2) / (7+x)! when x->infinity

You can easily squeeze that. 3*x^2+2<=3^x from some point on.
