Question 428008: Find all numbers for which the rational expression is undefined. Use commas to separate answers.
q(3 power)-5q divided by q (squared)-81

Set the denominator to be zero to find the restricted values:
q^2 - 81 =0
(q -9)(q +9 )= 0
q -9 = 0 or q +9 =0
q = 9 or q = -9
These values are restricted because they make the rational expression undefined.
