There's a simpler approach. Hint: ( x ) 2 = x . Is this limit bounded above or bounded below by 1?
I'm not sure but I think we can remove the floor function when x tends to infinity as the floor of infinity is infinity itself.
Let x = u and we know ⌊ u ⌋ = u − r ( u ) , where r ( u ) ∈ [ 0 , 1 ) . Then
x → ∞ lim x ⌊ x ⌋ 2 = u → ∞ lim ( u ⌊ u ⌋ ) 2 = u → ∞ lim ( 1 − u r ( u ) ) 2 = 1 ,
since r ( u ) / u → 0 .
I did this very simply; hope I haven't overlooked anything. I simply observed that the square root of x, squared, equals x. Therefore the value will be 1 for any x.

Let x = ⌊ x ⌋ + a , where 0 ≤ a < 1 , we have lim x → ∞ x ⌊ x ⌋ 2 = lim x → ∞ x ( x − a ) 2 = lim x → ∞ x x − 2 a x + a 2 = lim x → ∞ x x − x 2 a x + a 2 = lim x → ∞ 1 − x 2 a x + a 2 = 1 − 0 = 1
