Problem evaluating a limit as x to infinity algebraically

[fedaykin]

1. My problem is such:

Find the limit of \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{9x^2+x} -3x



2. No relevant equations

3. I multiplied \frac{\sqrt{9x^2+x} -3x}{1} * \frac{\sqrt{9x^2+x} +3x}{\sqrt{9x^2+x} +3x} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{9x^2+x} +3x}

I am now quite confused as to where to go from here. My teacher will accept tabled values, but I wish to prove my answer. I would greatly appreciate any help.

I did attempt to divide by the highest power in the denominator, but all that got me was a mess:

\frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{9x^2+x}}{x} +3}

Ok, I'm not certain this is valid, but...:

I'll factor out an x under the radical, then attempt to simplify

\frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{9x^2*(1+\frac}{x}{9x^2}{x} +3}

Hmm... I'm having trouble with tex and that.

If you pull an x out of the square root you get

\frac{x}{x ( \sqrt{9 + 1/x} + 3)} = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{9+1/x} + 3}

which you should be able to do

Thank you so very much.
