Answer:

This expression will become undefined at a=-9 and a=9

Explanation:

We are given rational expression as


(3a^2-27)/(324-4a^2)

We know that any rational expression is undefined when it's denominator becomes 0

so, we can set denominator =0

and then we can solve for 'a'


324-4a^2=0

now, we can factor it


4(81-a^2)=0


(81-a^2)=0


(9-a)(9+a)=0


(9-a)=0


a=9


(9+a)=0


a=-9

So,

This expression will become undefined at a=-9 and a=9
