Computation of each tax and the total deduction:

                Gross     Soc. Sec. Tax    Medicare         Total

                                                             Tax             Deduction

a.           $ 125.00         $7.75              $1.81               $9.56

b.             432.00         26.78               6.26               33.04

c.             241.00           14.94               3.49                18.43

d.         1,562.00          96.84             22.65              119.49

e.         2,521.00       156.30             36.55              192.85

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Social Security tax rate = 6.2%

Medicare tax rate = 1.45%

Computation of each tax and the total deduction:

                Gross     Soc. Sec. Tax    Medicare         Total                Pay

                                                             Tax             Deduction

a.           $ 125.00         $7.75              $1.81               $9.56             $115.44

b.             432.00         26.78               6.26               33.04             398.96

c.             241.00           14.94               3.49                18.43             222.57

d.         1,562.00          96.84             22.65              119.49           1,442.51

e.         2,521.00       156.30             36.55              192.85          2,328.15

Total $4,881.00       302.61              70.76             373.37          4,507.63

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

4x - 6 + 6 = 4x - 6 + 6

4x = 4x

x = x
