A boat off the coast of Alaska was ordered by the U. S. Coast Guard to change course. They were to travel 6 miles west and then sail 12 miles south to miss a large iceberg before continuing on the original course. How many miles out of the way did the boat travel? Round answers to the nearest tenth of a mile.

the answer is 3/2 and for decimal: 1.5

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.
