Answer:

  -1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The function evaluates to 0/0 at x=3, so L'Hopital's rule applies. The ratio of numerator and denominator derivatives is ...

  numerator derivative: 1/√(2x+3) -3/(2√(3x)) . . . . = 1/3 -1/2 = -1/6 at x=3

  denominator derivative: 2x-3 . . . = 3 at x=3

  (numerator derivative)/(denominator derivative) = (-1/6)/3 = -1/18

The limit of the expression as x→3 is -1/18.
