Answer: Diego buys about 3 pounds of blueberries, b
Step-by-step explanation: Lets write an equation to solve for b, how many pounds of blueberries he bought.
4.99b=14.95
Solve:
4.99b divided by 4.99 = 14.95 divided by 4.99
b = 3

=
a
x
n
b
x

where
n
n
is the degree of the numerator and
m
m
is the degree of the denominator.
1. If
n
<
m
n
<
m
, then the x-axis,
y
=
0
y
=
0
, is the horizontal asymptote.
2. If
n
=
m
n
=
m
, then the horizontal asymptote is the line
y
=

y
=

.
3. If
n
>

n
>

, then there is no horizontal asymptote (there is an oblique asymptote).
Find
n

and
m

.
n

Since
n
<

n
<

, the x-axis,
y
=

y
=

, is the horizontal asymptote.
y
=

y
=

There is no oblique asymptote because the degree of the numerator is less than or equal to the degree of the denominator.
