h(t) is not periodic, so you cannot find it.

Explanation:

Since the period of #sin(x)# is #2pi#, the period of #4sin(3t)# is #{2pi}/{3 }#, and the period of #3sin(sqrt{3}t)# is #{2pi}/sqrt{3}#. The period of the sum of those two periodic function would be the least common multiple of the two periods; however, there is no such common multiple. Hence, #h(t)# is not periodic.
