Fill in the Blank

In an inventory control system, a logistics coordinator uses mathematical models to optimize storage capacity. The efficiency of the primary warehouse is modeled by the rational function f(x)=3x21x29x+14f(x) = \frac{3x - 21}{x^2 - 9x + 14}, and the secondary warehouse is modeled by g(x)=2x283x+6g(x) = \frac{2x^2 - 8}{3x + 6}. To find the joint efficiency index, the coordinator must multiply these functions using the standard procedure. The first step requires completely factoring all numerators and denominators. When factoring the denominator of f(x)f(x), which is x29x+14x^2 - 9x + 14, it is written as the product of the binomial (x7)(x - 7) and the binomial ____.
