1. ## [SOLVED] Limit of a composition of functions

I am having trouble verifying the following problem:
If the functions $f$ and $g$ are defined on $(a,\infty)$ with $a\in \mathbb{R}$, and where $\lim_{x\to \infty} f(x) = L$ and $\lim_{x\to \infty} g(x) = +\infty$, prove that $\lim_{x\to \infty} (f \circ g)(x) = L$

Here is what I have tried to do
Suppose $(x_{n})$ is a sequence defined on $(a,\infty)$ which diverges to $\infty$.
At this point I need to show that the sequence $(g(x_{n}))$ diverges to $\infty$, thereby confirming that the sequence $(f(g(x_{n})))$ converges to L as $n\to \infty$.
How can I show that the sequence $(g(x_{n}))$ diverges?

Didn't you post this exact question and get an answer here?

3. So I did, thank you, I seem to have forgotten. Sorry for the repetition.
