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 \( g(x) \).

  1. The function \( g(x) \) represents the price of the cabinets plus the delivery fee: \[ g(x) = x + 150 \]

  2. 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: \[ (f \circ g)(x) = 1.065(x + 150) \]
