Determine the value of lim⁡x→∞sin⁡(3x+π/7)x2.\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{\sin(3x+\pi/7)}{x^{2}}.
Intuitive explanation

The key insight is recognizing that sin⁡(3x+π/7)\sin(3x+\pi/7) is bounded—it oscillates between −1-1 and 11 regardless of how large xx gets. When you divide a bounded quantity by x2x^2, which grows without limit, the fraction shrinks toward zero. This is a classic "bounded over unbounded" scenario where the denominator's growth dominates completely.
