Question

Suppose that a state's tax code states that tax liability is 13% on the first $21000 of taxable earnings and 17% on the remainder. Find the constants a and b in the tax function T(x)
    T(x)=[a+0.13x if x<=$21000 a+0.17(x-21000) if x>$21000
such that the lim as x approaches 0+ T(x)=0 and lim as x appoaches 21000 T(x) exists.

Explanation / Answer

At lim x approaches to 0

Left hand Limit

limT(0-)= a

Right hand Limit

limT(0+)=a

Left hand Limit = Right hand Limit

It exists


At lim x approaches to 2100

Left hand Limit

limT(2100-)= a + 273

Left hand Limit

limT(2100+)=a

Left hand Limit is not equal to Right hand Limit

it does not exist.
