In a technical data-modeling project, you are tasked with combining two formulas to calculate a system's total efficiency. To do this, you must rewrite the rational expressions using the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) of . Match each starting expression below with the specific 'missing factor' from the LCD that must be multiplied into its numerator and denominator to achieve the common denominator.
