Fill in the Blank

You are working as an assistant network analyst for an e-commerce distribution center. The server monitoring system uses the rational expression x+4x2+5x+6\frac{x + 4}{x^2 + 5x + 6} to calculate server load ratios, where xx represents the baseline CPU deviation factor. To prevent system crashes from division-by-zero errors, you must set input validation limits. The system administrator asks you to identify the smaller of the two critical deviation values of xx that make this expression undefined. Based on the calculation procedure, the smaller value of xx that makes the expression undefined is ____.
