I found: 1/(2sqrt(3))

Explanation:

If you try direct,y you get:
lim_(x->3)(sqrt(x)-sqrt(3))/(x-3)=0/0
Which is an indeterminate form (we cannot solve 0/0).
So to try to avoid this we can try using De l'Hospital Rule deriving top and bottom and then apply the limit:

lim_(x->3)(1/(2sqrtx))/1

As x->3:

lim_(x->3)(1/(2sqrt(x)))=1/(2sqrt(3)
