Identifying Model Limitations in Logistics

A logistics coordinator uses the rational function R(x)=4x216x8x216x64R(x) = \frac{4x^2 - 16x}{8x^2 - 16x - 64} to model the fuel efficiency of a delivery fleet based on the cargo load xx (in tons). To ensure the model remains mathematically valid, the coordinator must identify the specific 'break points' where the function is undefined. Based on the domain analysis of this function, what are the two numerical values of xx that must be excluded from the domain?
