Divide by the highest denominator power.
\begin{align*} \displaystyle \lim\limits_{x\to \infty }\left(\frac{6x^3+4x^2+5}{8x^3+7x-3}\right)&=\displaystyle \lim\limits_{x\to \infty }\left(\frac{6x^3+4x^2+5}{8x^3+7x-3}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{\displaystyle \frac{1}{x^3}}{\displaystyle \frac{1}{x^3}}\right) \\ \\ & =\displaystyle \lim\limits_{x\to \infty \:}\left(\displaystyle \frac{6+\displaystyle \frac{4}{x}+\displaystyle \frac{5}{x^3}}{8+\displaystyle \frac{7}{x^2}-\frac{3}{x^3}}\right)\\ \\ & =\displaystyle \frac{\lim\limits_{x\to \infty \:}\left(6+\displaystyle \frac{4}{x}+\frac{5}{x^3}\right)}{\lim\limits_{x\to \infty \:}\left(8+\displaystyle\frac{7}{x^2}-\displaystyle \frac{3}{x^3}\right)}\\ \\ & =\displaystyle \frac{6+0+0}{8+0-0}\\ \\ & =\displaystyle \frac{6}{8}\\ \\ & =\displaystyle \frac{3}{4} \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right) \end{align*}

PROBLEM:
If \displaystyle f\left(x\right)=x^2-2x+3, find \displaystyle \lim\limits_{x\to 0}\left(\displaystyle \frac{f\left(x+2\right)-f\left(2\right)}{x}\right).

\begin{align*} \displaystyle \lim\limits_{x\to 0}\left(\displaystyle \frac{f\left(x+2\right)-f\left(2\right)}{x}\right)&=\displaystyle \lim\limits_{x\to 0}\left(\displaystyle \frac{\left(\left(x+2\right)^2-2\left(x+2\right)+3\right)-\left(2^2-2\cdot 2+3\right)}{x}\right)\\ \\ & =\displaystyle \lim\limits_{x\to 0}\left(\displaystyle \frac{\left(\left(x+2\right)^2-2\left(x+2\right)+3\right)-\left(3\right)}{x}\right)\\ \\ &=\displaystyle \lim\limits_{x\to 0}\left(\displaystyle \frac{\left(\left(x+2\right)^2-2\left(x+2\right)\right)}{x}\right)\\ \\ \end{align*}
Direct substitution of x=0 gives the indeterminate form \frac{0}{0}. Therefore, we proceed by factoring the numerator.
\begin{align*} & =\displaystyle \lim\limits_{x\to 0}\displaystyle \frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+2-2\right)}{x}\\ \\ & =\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x\right)}{x} \\ \\ & =\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\left(x+2\right) \\ \\ & =0+2 \\ \\ & =2 \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right) \end{align*}
