Answer

$$\sqrt {5}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\sqrt {5x^2-2}}{x+3 } $$ Then \begin{align*} \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\sqrt {5x^2-2}}{x+3 } &=\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\sqrt {5x^2/x^2-2/x^2}}{x/x+3/x } \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\sqrt {5 -2/x^2}}{1+3/x }\\ &= \sqrt {5} \end{align*}
