The amount of social security benefits received by an individual that he or she must include in gross income:

a. may not exceed the portion contributed by the employer.

b. may be zero or as much as 85% of the social security benefits received, depending upon the taxpayer's social security benefits and other income.

c. may not exceed 50% of the social security benefits received.

d. is computed in the same manner as an annuity [exclusion = (cost/expected return) × amount received].

e. none of these choices are correct.

14

step-by-step explanation:

14 x 3 = 42

i believe the correct answer is b.

correct answer is b. 27/8

step-by-step explanation:

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
