Taxes The table below shows some sample incomes and the income tax due for each taxable income.

a. Can a linear function model exactly the points from the table? Explain.


b. If so, find a linear function T = f (x) that models the points.


c. Verify that the model fits the data by evaluating the function at x = 30,100 and x = 30,300 and comparing the resulting T-values with the income tax due for these taxable incomes.


d. If the model can be interpreted continuously, use it to find the tax due on taxable income of $30,125. Is this an interpolation or an extrapolation from the data?


e. Can this model be used to compute all tax due on taxable income?
