Identify the function for which you need to find the limit: \( f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 - 7x + 3 \).
Recognize that this is a polynomial function. Polynomial functions are continuous everywhere, which means you can find the limit by direct substitution.
Substitute \( x = 0 \) into the function: \( f(0) = 0^3 + 5(0)^2 - 7(0) + 3 \).
