Answer: 1 and 4

Explanation:

1. To find excluded values, we need to make the denominator equal to zero.

x² - 5x + 4 = 0

2. Then we need to find the x the product of them was 4, but they add up to -5, which are -4 and -1. We get:

(x - 4)(x - 1) = 0

x - 4 = 0 x - 1 = 0

x = 4 x = 1

These two numbers will make the denominator equal to 0, the denominator cannot be equal to 0, so they are excluded numbers.
