#lim_(x to 0^-) sqrt (3 + arctan(1/x)) = sqrt (3 - pi/2) #

#lim_(x to 0^+) sqrt (3 + arctan(1/x)) = sqrt (3 + pi/2) #

#lim_(x to 0) sqrt (3 + arctan(1/x)) #

now we can plot this to see where this limit is going....

Desmos

....so we can see that

#lim_(x to 0) sqrt (3 + arctan(1/x)) \ \ \ # is two sided

We know that:

#lim_(x to 0^-) arctan(1/x) = - pi/2 #

#lim_(x to 0^) arctan(1/x) = pi/2 #

So
#lim_(x to 0^-) sqrt (3 + arctan(1/x)) = sqrt (3 - pi/2) #

#lim_(x to 0^+) sqrt (3 + arctan(1/x)) = sqrt (3 + pi/2) #
