document.write( "Question 1134895: Many income tax systems are calculated using a tiered method. Under a certain a tax law, the first $100 000 of earnings are subject to 35% tax; earnings greater than $100 000 and up to $500 000 are subject to a 45% tax. Any earnings greater than $500 000 are taxed at 55%. Write a piecewise function that models this situation. \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the piece-wise function could be written something like this.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "f(x) = {.35 * 100,000 + .45 * 400,000 + .55 * (x - 500,000) if x > 500,000.\r\n" );
document.write( "       {.35 * 100,000 + .45 * (x - 100,000) if 100,000 < x <= 500,000.\r\n" );
document.write( "       {.35 * x if 0 < x <= 100,000\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
