Limit involving inverse functions

$begingroup$


When I am given the limit



$$limlimits_{x rightarrow infty}frac{xarctansqrt{x^2 +1}}{sqrt{x^2+1}}$$



would it be possible to evaluate it giving some substitution?



L'Hospital's rule seemed an option but I ended up going in circles.

          When $x>0$, $|x|=x$ and obviously if $xrightarrowinfty$, then $sqrt{x^2+1}rightarrowinfty$. And the last thing that you will need is the fact that the inverse tangent function approaches a value of $pi/2$ as its argument goes to infinity:



          $$
          limlimits_{x rightarrow infty}frac{xarctansqrt{x^2+1}}{sqrt{x^2+1}}=
          limlimits_{x rightarrow infty}frac{xarctansqrt{x^2 +1}}{sqrt{x^2}sqrt{1+frac{1}{x^2}}}=
          limlimits_{x rightarrow infty}frac{xarctansqrt{x^2 +1}}{|x|sqrt{1+frac{1}{x^2}}}=\
          limlimits_{x rightarrow infty}frac{xarctansqrt{x^2 +1}}{xsqrt{1+frac{1}{x^2}}}=
          limlimits_{x rightarrow infty}frac{arctansqrt{x^2 +1}}{sqrt{1+frac{1}{x^2}}}=
          frac{pi/2}{sqrt{1+0}}=frac{pi}{2}.

            You may proceed as follows:




            • Set $tan y = sqrt{1+x^2}$ and consider $y to frac{pi}{2}^-$


            begin{eqnarray*}frac{xarctansqrt{x^2 +1}}{sqrt{x^2+1}}
            & = & sqrt{tan^2y -1}frac{y}{tan y} \
            & = & frac{sqrt{sin^2 y - cos^2 y}}{sin y}cdot y\
            &stackrel{y to frac{pi}{2}^-}{longrightarrow} & frac{sqrt{1 - 0}}{1}cdot frac{pi}{2} = frac{pi}{2}
            end{eqnarray*}

              Hint: It is true in general that if $lim f$ and $lim g$ both exist and are finite and nonzero, then $lim (fg)$ exists and equals $(lim f)(lim g)$.



              Take $f(x)=x/sqrt{x^2+1}$, $g(x)=tan^{-1}(x^2+1)$ and note that $xtoinfty$ implies $sqrt{x^2+1}toinfty$.

                                  Hint: It is true in general that if $lim f$ and $lim g$ both exist and are finite and nonzero, then $lim (fg)$ exists and equals $(lim f)(lim g)$.



                                  Take $f(x)=x/sqrt{x^2+1}$, $g(x)=tan^{-1}(x^2+1)$ and note that $xtoinfty$ implies $sqrt{x^2+1}toinfty$.
