Answer

$$\frac{3}{2}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}(\sqrt{4 x^{2}+3x}-2 x) $$ \begin{aligned} \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}(\sqrt{4 x^{2}+3x}-2 x) &=\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{(\sqrt{4 x^{2}+3x}-2 x)(\sqrt{4 x^{2}+3x}+2 x)}{\sqrt{4 x^{2}+3x}+2 x}\\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{ 4 x^{2}+3x -4 x^2 }{\sqrt{4 x^{2}+3x}+2 x}\\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{ 3x/x }{\sqrt{4 x^{2}/x^2+3x/x^2}+2 x/x^2}\\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{ 3 }{\sqrt{4 +3 /x }+2 /x }\\ &=\frac{3}{\sqrt{4}}\\ &=\frac{3}{2} \end{aligned}
