Two friends are renting an apartment. they pay the landlord the first and last month's rent. the landlord also requires them to pay an additional half months rent for a security deposit. the total amount due is $1600. what is the monthly rent?

Use the given information to write an equation, then solve it.

$1600 = (1 + 1 + 1/2)×(monthly rent) . . . . relationship given in the problem statement

$1600/2.5 = monthly rent = $640 . . . . divide by the coefficient of monthly rent

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.
