Question

The state income tax in Connecticut is modeled by the function below, where x is income in dollars. Suppose that Connecticut decided to increase its tax rates by 20% and add a filing fee of $100. Write a function for the new state income tax. f(x) = {0.02 x   if 0<x<= 10,000           {0.05x    if x>10,000

anonymous · Answer

f(x)= (0.02+0.2)x+100

what about the rest of the piecewise ?

That sounds right

Actually

zepp · Answer

First one is right
f(x)= (0.02+0.2)x+100

and second one should following the same pattern

zepp · Answer

y=0.05x would become y = (0.05+0.2)x+100

zepp · Answer

Put them together

f(x) = (0.02+0.2)x+100   for 0<x<= 10,000           
          (0.05+0.2)x+100  for      x>10,000
