Yeah, very nice. This approach didn't strike me :D
y = 3 s i n 2 t x = t a n ( t ) t = t a n − 1 x t h e r e f o r e , y = 3 ( s i n t a n − 1 x ) 2 y = 3 ( s i n s i n − 1 1 + x 2 x ) 2 y = 1 + x 2 3 x 2 x → ∞ l im y = 3
y = 3 s i n 2 t = 3 ( 1 − c o s 2 t ) = 3 ( 1 − 1 − s e c 2 t 1 ) = 3 ( 1 − 1 + t a n 2 t 1 )
let: u = t a n t
so: l i m x → ∞ y = l i m u → ∞ 3 ( 1 − 1 + u 2 1 ) = 3
As x approaches infinity, tan ( t ) approaches infinity. We know that as t approaches 90º, tan ( 9 0 º ) = i n f i n i t y
Therefore when x approaches infinity, t = 9 0 º . Substituting 90º in y, we get
y = 3 s i n 2 ( 9 0 º ) = 3 ∗ 1 2 =3

I have a solution that you will like.
as x → ∞ w e h a v e t → 2 π
Clearly y → 3
Hence lim x → ∞ y = 3
