SUMMARY
The limit of the expression (3^(2x) - 1) / (3^(2x) + 1) as x approaches negative infinity is definitively -1. This conclusion is reached by applying L'Hôpital's Rule, which is appropriate for indeterminate forms. The discussion highlights the transformation of the limit involving exponential functions, specifically 3^(2x), as x approaches negative infinity.
