The rational expression is undefined when the denominator is zero. So set that equal to zero and solve for x

x%5E2-6x%2B8=0

%28x-4%29%28x-2%29=0

x-4=0 or x-2=0

x=4 or x=2

-------------------------------------------------------

The rational expression is undefined when either x=4 or x=2 since these values cause the denominator to be zero (and you cannot divide by zero)
