To solve this inequality, first simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
(x^4-2x+10)/(x^3-2x+1) = (x^4-2x+10)/(x-1)^2
Next, we have the inequality: (x^4-2x+10)/(x-1)^2 > 1
Now, we can multiply both sides by (x-1)^2 to get rid of the denominator: x^4 - 2x + 10 > (x-1)^2
Expand the right side: x^4 - 2x + 10 > x^2 - 2x + 1
Subtract x^2 - 2x + 1 from both sides to set the inequality to zero: x^4 - x^2 + 9 > 0
Factor the left side: (x^2 - 3)(x^2 + 3) > 0
Now find the critical points by setting each factor to zero: x^2 - 3 = 0 x^2 = 3 x = ±√3
Since this is a quadratic inequality, we can use the critical points to determine the intervals where the inequality is true. Testing a point in each interval: For x < -√3, choose x = -4: ((-4)^2 - 3)((-4)^2 + 3) > 0 (16 - 3)(16 + 3) > 0 13 * 19 > 0 247 > 0 True for x < -√3
For -√3 < x < √3, choose x = 0: ((0)^2 - 3)((0)^2 + 3) > 0 (-3)(3) > 0 -9 > 0 False for -√3 < x < √3
For x > √3, choose x = 4: ((4)^2 - 3)((4)^2 + 3) > 0 (16 - 3)(16 + 3) > 0 13 * 19 > 0 247 > 0 True for x > √3
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < -√3 or x > √3.

Testing a point in each interval:
For x < -√3, choose x = -4:
((-4)^2 - 3)((-4)^2 + 3) > 0
(16 - 3)(16 + 3) > 0
13 * 19 > 0
247 > 0
True for x < -√3
For -√3 < x < √3, choose x = 0:
((0)^2 - 3)((0)^2 + 3) > 0
(-3)(3) > 0
-9 > 0
False for -√3 < x < √3
For x > √3, choose x = 4:
((4)^2 - 3)((4)^2 + 3) > 0
(16 - 3)(16 + 3) > 0
13 * 19 > 0
247 > 0
True for x > √3
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < -√3 or x > √3.
