What is the limit of #(2x^2 + 1)^0.5 / (3x -5)# as x goes to infinity? Calculus Limits Limits at Infinity and Horizontal Asymptotes 1 Answer A. S. Adikesavan Apr 23, 2016 #sqrt 2/3#. Explanation: As #xtooo, 1/x and 1/x^2to0#. The given expression is #((x^2(2+1/x^2))^0.5)/(x(3-5/x))# #=(((x^2)^0.5)((2+1/x^2)^0.5))/((x(3-5/x))# #=(x(2+1/x^2)^0.5)/(x(3-5/x)# #=((2+1/x^2)^0.5)/(3-5/x)#. As, #xtooo, 1/x^2 and 1/xto0 and# the given expression #to2^0.5/3=sqrt 2/3# Answer link Related questions What kind of functions have horizontal asymptotes?
