Technical Documentation: Resource Efficiency Ratio
A logistics coordinator uses rational functions to evaluate warehouse efficiency. The overall performance rating of a regional hub is modeled by the quotient R(x) = rac{f(x)}{g(x)}, where the output function is f(x) = rac{15x^2}{3x^2 + 33x} and the input cost function is g(x) = rac{5x - 5}{x^2 + 9x - 22}. After converting the division to multiplication by the reciprocal, factoring all terms completely, and dividing out all common factors, the simplified performance rating is represented by a single rational expression. What is the binomial in the denominator of this final simplified expression? ____
