The greatest integer function of x is the equivalent of the floor function, and is the greatest integer that does not exceed x.
Since [x+3] is the floor function of x+3,
we have x+2≤[x+3]≤x+3
Let
L1=Lim x→∞ x/(x+2), and
L2=Lim x→∞ x/(x+3)
Evaluating, L1=1, L2=1, and therefore by the squeeze theorem (sandwich theorem),
lim x→∞ x/[x+3] = 1
