Solution
`lim_("n" -> oo) (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + "n")/(3"n"^2 + 7"n" + 2) = lim_("n" -> oo) (("n"("n" + 1))/2)/(3"n"^2 + 7"n" + 2)`
= `1/2 lim_("n" -> oo) ("n"*"n"(1 + 1/"n"))/("n"^2 (3 + (7"n")/"n"^2 + 2/"n"^2)`
= `1/2 lim_("n" -> oo) ((1 + 1/"n"))/((3 + 7/"n" + 2/"n"^2))`
= `1/2 xx ((1 + 0))/((3 + 0 + 0))`
`lim_("n" -> oo) (1 + 2 + 3 + .... + "n")/(3"n"^2 + 7"n" + 2) = 1/6`
