$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left(1 - \frac{3}{x}\right)^{2 x}$$
Limit((1 - 3/x)^(2*x), x, oo, dir='-')
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left(1 - \frac{3}{x}\right)^{2 x}$$
transform
do replacement
$$u = \frac{x}{-3}$$
then
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left(1 - \frac{3}{x}\right)^{2 x}$$ =
=
$$\lim_{u \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{- 6 u}$$
=
$$\lim_{u \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{- 6 u}$$
=
$$\left(\left(\lim_{u \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}\right)\right)^{-6}$$
The limit
$$\lim_{u \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}$$
is second remarkable limit, is equal to e ~ 2.718281828459045
then
$$\left(\left(\lim_{u \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}\right)\right)^{-6} = e^{-6}$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left(1 - \frac{3}{x}\right)^{2 x} = e^{-6}$$
Lopital's rule
There is no sense to apply Lopital's rule to this function since there is no indeterminateness of 0/0 or oo/oo type
