The annual FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) tax is composed of two parts: Social Security and Medicare Taxes. On the employee's side, he/she has to shoulder 6.2% of the annual salary for the Social Security Tax, and 1.45% of the annual salary for the Medicare Tax. So in total, FICA takes 7.65% of your annual salary as tax. To calculate the FICA tax to be paid, this is shown below:
$38,480 x 7.65% = $2943.72
Therefore, for an annual salary of $38,480, $2943.72 goes into FICA tax payment.
The recursive formula

means that the current element (
) is written in terms of the term immediately before (
).
In order to get
, you have to add 5 to the previous term
. In other words, every term is 5 more than its predecessor.
So, if we want the 8th term, we can keep adding 5 until we get there:

Y = (x+3)^2 - 5 here's the answer hope it helps
Think of Q1 as a median in the lower half of the data and think of Q3 as a median for the upper half of data. (1, 2, 5, 6, 7<span>), 9, ( 12, 15, 18, 19, 27). Q1 = 5 and Q3 = 18. Step 5: Subtract Q1 from Q3 to find the interquartile range</span>
