As an operations manager for a medical supply distributor, you use algebraic expressions to optimize inventory turnover rates. You are working with the following model for the weekly turnover rate of sterile surgical kits:
where represents the number of daily delivery vans dispatched.
To simplify this model, you first recall the procedure for finding the Least Common Denominator (LCD). Factoring the quadratic denominator reveals that the LCD is . When rewriting the first term, , to have this common denominator, you must multiply both its numerator and denominator by the binomial factor ____.
