Answer:

Option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the piecewise function represents the Social Security taxes for 2009.

$Tax=\begin{cases}0.062x & \text{ when } 0< x < 106,800 \\ \$6,621.60 & \text{ when } x > 106,800 \end{cases}$

We need to find Rachel's security tax if she earned $102,000 in 2009.

Since 102,000 lies in $0$ , therefore

$Tax=0.062x$

Put x=102000.

$Tax=0.062(102000)$

$Tax=6324$

So, the Social Security tax is $6324.

Therefore, the correct option is c.

A square park is 75 m long. Find the area of the park.<br>

Inga [223]

5625 m^2

If is is square, all sides must be congruent (all sides are 75m). To find area, you multiply width x length (how long). Therefore:

75m x 75m = 5626 m^2

Which linear function represents the line given by the point-slope equation y-8=

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

$f(x)=x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y-8=(x-4)$

This is the equation of the line in point slope form

where

The slope is m=1

The point is (4,8)

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

Adds 8 both sides

$y-8+8=x-4+8$

Combine like terms

$y=x+4$

Convert to function notation

$f(x)=x+4$

Item 18

nasty-shy [4]

The first thing we have to do is to calculate the midpoint of the min and max speeds. We are given that the min and max is 74 and 95 respectively. The midpoint is then calculated as (max+min) / 2. Therefore:

midpoint = (74 + 95) / 2 = 84.5

Next, we calculate the distance from the midpoint to the endpoint by doing subtraction. Therefore:

min endpoint: 84.5 – 74 = 10.5

max endpoint: 95 – 84.5 = 10.5

Now we know that v minus the midpoint will equal the distance such that:

| v - midpoint | = distance.

To our problem,

| v – 84.5 | = 10.5

A shipping box has the dimensions shown what is the volume of the box in cubic yards? 1-4 yard 1-4 yard 1-2 yard

andriy [413]

The required picture is attached below :

Answer:

1 /32 yard³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of box can be obtained using the relation :

V = length * width * height

Length = 1/4 yards

Width = 1/2 yards

Height = 1/4 yards

Hence,

Volume (V) = 1/4 yards * 1/2 yards * 1/4 yards

Volume (V) = (1/4 * 1/2 * 1/4)(yard³)

Volume (V) = 1 / 32 yard³
