Answer

$$ \frac{\sqrt{3 }}{4}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \lim _{x\to \infty }\frac{\sqrt{x+3x^2}}{4x-1}$$ Then \begin{aligned} \lim _{x\to \infty }\frac{\sqrt{x+3x^2}}{4x-1}&= \lim _{x\to \infty }\frac{\sqrt{\frac{x}{x^2}+3\frac{x^2}{x^2}}}{4\frac{x}{x}-\frac{1}{x}} \\ &=\lim _{x\to \infty }\frac{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x }+3 }}{4 -\frac{1}{x}}\\ &=\lim _{x\to \infty }\frac{\sqrt{0+3 }}{4 -0}\\ &= \frac{\sqrt{3 }}{4} \end{aligned}
