To find the undefined value in the expression \( 22 = 4 + 5x \cdot 9x - 6 \), we first need to simplify and analyze the expression on the right side.

Starting with the equation:

\[
22 = 4 + 5x \cdot 9x - 6
\]

First, simplify the right side:

\[
5x \cdot 9x = 45x^2
\]

Now, substitute that back into the equation:

\[
22 = 4 + 45x^2 - 6
\]

Combine like terms:

\[
22 = (4 - 6) + 45x^2
\]
\[
22 = -2 + 45x^2
\]

Next, add 2 to both sides of the equation:

\[
22 + 2 = 45x^2
\]
\[
24 = 45x^2
\]

Now, solve for \( x^2 \):

\[
x^2 = \frac{24}{45}
\]

Reduce the fraction:

\[
x^2 = \frac{8}{15}
\]

Now, to find the undefined values, we need to determine when \( 45x^2 - 24 = 0 \):

\[
45x^2 - 24 = 0
\]
\[
45x^2 = 24
\]
\[
x^2 = \frac{24}{45} = \frac{8}{15}
\]

Now, to find \( x \), we take the square root of both sides:

\[
x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{8}{15}} = \pm \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{15}}
\]

The undefined value for the original expression occurs when the denominator equals zero. However, in your question, it appears we are meant to identify a certain value related to this equation.

Since the simplified expression doesn’t yield a specific denominator to evaluate for undefined values, the expected result regarding undefined values typically pertains to fractions where the denominator would equal zero. Given that \( 45x^2 \) can not yield 0 through any real number without specifically being expressed by values leading the right-hand portion to be undefined.

Thus, to answer your question based on standard protocol:
Given that the derived fractions \( \frac{8}{15} \) lead us without a defined expression, it seems traditional learning arrives at no defined real number capture within. Thus without further expression variations specified, we should denote:

The undefined value is \( \frac{8}{15} \).
