# Composition of Functions - Educational Exercise

## Problem Statement:

For the pair of functions, find the indicated composition.

Given:
\[ f(x) = \frac{7}{x - 5} \]
\[ g(x) = \frac{2}{7x} \]

Find \( (f \circ g)(x) \).

### Multiple Choice Options:
A. \( \frac{49x}{2 + 35x} \)

B. \( \frac{2x - 10}{49x} \)

C. \( \frac{49x}{2 - 35x} \)

D. \( \frac{7x}{2 - 35x} \)

### Explanation of Options:
This is a multiple-choice question where you are asked to find the composition \( (f \circ g)(x) \), which means \( f(g(x)) \). You are to choose the correct option from the given answers.

To solve this, substitute \( g(x) \) into \( f(x) \):

1. Start with the function \( g(x) \):
   \[ g(x) = \frac{2}{7x} \]

2. Substitute \( g(x) \) into \( f(x) \):
   \[ f(g(x)) = f\left( \frac{2}{7x} \right) = \frac{7}{\left(\frac{2}{7x}\right) - 5} \]

3. Simplify the expression inside the function \( f \):
   \[ f\left( \frac{2}{7x} \right) = \frac{7}{\frac{2}{7x} - 5} = \frac{7}{\frac{2}{7x} - \frac{35x}{7x}} = \frac{7}{\frac{2 - 35x}{7x}} = 7 \cdot \frac{7x}{2 - 35x} = \frac{49x}{2 - 35x} \]

Thus, the correct answer is:
\[ \boxed{C} \]
