Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I used Pascal's Triangle to the 19th row (that took forever!!) and the leading coefficients are as follows:

1, 18, 153, 816, 3060, 8568, 18564, 31824, 43758, 48620, 43758, 31824, 18564, 8568, 3060, 816, 153, 18, 1

You need the middle term so we can stop the expansion at 48,620. We will choose an a and a b from the binomial to be a = x and b = 1/x. Start with the coefficients from above in order and follow the pattern:

1(x)¹⁸(1/x)⁰ + 18(x)¹⁷(1/x)¹ + 153(x)¹⁶(1/x)² + 816(x)¹⁵(1/x)³ + 3060(x)¹⁴(1/x)⁴ + 8568(x)¹³(1/x)⁵ + 18564(x)¹²(1/x)⁶ + 31824(x)¹¹(1/x)⁷ + 43758(x)¹⁰(1/x)⁸ + 48620(x)⁹(1/x)⁹

That last term there is the middle term. Simplified it looks like this:

$\frac{48620x^9}{x^9}$ which is simplified to just 48620

Clarita is a single taxpayer with two dependent children, ages 10 and 12. Clarita

lidiya [134]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Clarita's total income =

Adjusted gross income (all from wages) + standard deduction

= $19,600 + $3,000 = $22,600 ( Actual spending is only $3,000 for two children)

According to USA (Pub.503.,)

you exclude or deduct dependent care benefits provided by a dependent care benefit plan, the total amount you exclude or deduct must be less than the dollar limit for qualifying expenses (generally, $3,000 if one qualifying person was cared for or $6,000 if two or more qualifying persons were cared for). (If two or more qualifying persons were cared for, the amount you exclude or deduct will always be less than the dollar limit because the total amount you can exclude or deduct is limited to $5,000.

2.Child and dependent care credit for 2019 is Zero

Because .,According to Income tax rules in USA (pub 501) "the deductions for personal and dependency exemptions for tax years 2018 through 2025 are suspended, and therefore, the amount of the deduction is zero. But in determining whether you may claim a person as a qualifying relative for 2019, the person's gross income must be less than $4,200, not zero."

Here Clarita's gross income is $22,600 ., more than $4,200

If it takes B hours to walk a certain distance at the rate of 3 miles per hour, the number of hours it takes to return the same

natita [175]

Answer:

It will take 0.75B hours for the return leg

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given that the first leg of the trip was for B hours at 3 miles per hour , we want to calculate the number of hours the return leg will take at 4 miles per hour given that it is the same distance.

Mathematically, we know that ;

Distance = speed * time

So the distance taken on the first leg of the trip would be;

Distance = 3 miles per hour * B hours = 3B miles

Now, this distance was traveled on the return leg also.

This means that the time taken here will be;

Time on return leg = distance/speed = 3B/4 = 0.75B hours
