The cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =$ 7.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A local grocery story has strawberries on sale for $1.45 per pound.

i.e. Cost for 1 pound strawberries = $1.45

Now, Cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =  5.5 x (Cost for 1 pound strawberries)

= $ (5.5 x  1.45)

= $ 7.975 ≈ $ 7.98   [ Round to the nearest penny]

Hence, the cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =$ 7.98

no oblique asymptote

step-by-step explanation:

to find the oblique asymptote of f(x)

here numerator has degree 1 and denomintor degree 2

degree of numerator < degree of denominator

hence there is no oblique asymptote

when the degree of the denominator > that of the numerator, we saw that the value in the denominator got so much bigger, so quickly,   giving us a horizontal asymptote of the x-axis. or we can write

f(x) = a polynomial of x + a proper fraction.

in this case only we have oblique asymptotes but not when numerator has less degree.
