Aclassmate says that a rectangular prism that is 6 cm long, 8 cm wide, and 15 cm high is similar to a rectangular prism that is 12 cm long, 14 cm wide, and 21 cm high. explain your classmate's error.

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.
