Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
oo/oo,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(x^{2} - x + 3\right) = \infty$$
and limit for the denominator is
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(x - 3\right) = \infty$$
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x^{2}}{x - 3} - 1\right)$$
=
Let's transform the function under the limit a few
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x^{2} - x + 3}{x - 3}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} \left(x^{2} - x + 3\right)}{\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 3\right)}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(2 x - 1\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(2 x - 1\right)$$
=
$$\infty$$
It can be seen that we have applied Lopital's rule (we have taken derivatives with respect to the numerator and denominator) 1 time(s)
