  $2618

Step-by-step explanation:

The total tax due will be the sum of the amounts due in each bracket.

  2%×$3000 +3%×(5000 -3000) +5%×(17000 -5000) +5.75%×(50000 -17000)

  = 60 +60 +600 +1897.50 = $2617.50 ≈ $2618

The state income tax on $50,000 is $2618.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
