$$\lim_{x \to +\infty} \sqrt{x^2+3}-x$$

Click on Reply With Quote to see the LaTex. Or better yet, there is a "How To Use LaTex on This Site" thread in the LaTeX Help section of the site.

Hint: Try multiplying by $$ \frac{\sqrt{x^2+3} + x}{\sqrt{x^2+3} + x} $$

Using the Binomial Theorem for [tex](x^2 + 3)^{\frac{1}{2}},[/tex]

write the limit as [tex]\displaystyle\lim_{x\to +\infty}{\bigg(x + \dfrac{3}{2x} + (all \ \ other \ \ terms \ \ with \ \ degree \ \ less \ \ than \ \ -1) \ - \ x \bigg)}[/tex]
