Answer

$2.1$

Work Step by Step

When $x\rightarrow-\infty$, we have: The numerator is a constant: $k=4.2$ In the denominator, $3^{2x}=$ has the form $k^{-\infty}=0 \implies k^{Big\ negative }= Small$ So, $2-3^{2x}\rightarrow(2-$ small $)\rightarrow 2$ Thus, we have: $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}\frac{4.2}{2-3^{2x}}=\frac{4.2}{2}=2.1$
