To determine which function represents the total cost of the purchase, including tax and delivery for a purchase of \( x \) dollars, we need to find the composition of the functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \).
-
The function \( g(x) \) represents the price of the cabinets plus the delivery fee: \[ g(x) = x + 150 \]
-
The function \( f(x) \) represents the cost plus tax on a purchase of \( x \) dollars: \[ f(x) = 1.065x \]
To find the total cost of the purchase (including tax and delivery), we need to apply \( f \) to the output of \( g \): \[ (f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)) \]
Substituting \( g(x) \) into \( f \): \[ f(g(x)) = f(x + 150) \] Now, substituting \( x + 150 \) into \( f(x) \): \[ f(x + 150) = 1.065(x + 150) \]
Thus, we conclude: \[ (f \circ g)(x) = 1.065(x + 150) \]
So the correct response is:
\[
(f \circ g)(x) = 1.065(x + 150)
\]
open paren f circ g close paren times x is equal to 1 point 0 6 5 times open paren x plus 150 close paren.
