Question

The following is a simplified version of the actual California state tax tables, for singles taxable incomes up to $18,609. For 2017, a single person whose taxable income is between $0-$7,849 is charged 1% in tax. A single person whose taxable income is between $7,850-$18,609 is charged 1% of the first $7,849, and 2 % of the amount over $7,849. write a piecewise-linear function to represent the CA state income tax for a single taxpayer as a function of taxable income, for taxable incomes up to S18,609. Graph this function. Note that these are referred to as "tax brackets". 2.

Explanation / Answer

The function will be as follows -

y = .01 * x 0< x <= 7849

= .01* 7849 + .02* (x - 7849) 7849< x <= 18609
