To solve this inequality, we need to find the critical points where the expression equals zero and where it changes sign.
First, set the expression equal to zero:(ln^2(x-1))*(4x^2-5x+1) = 0
This can happen if either ln^2(x-1) = 0 or 4x^2-5x+1 = 0.
For ln^2(x-1) = 0, we have:ln(x-1) = 0x - 1 = e^0x - 1 = 1x = 2
For 4x^2-5x+1 = 0, we can factor it as:(4x-1)(x-1) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero gives:4x-1 = 0x = 1/4
x-1 = 0x = 1
So the critical points are x = 1/4, 1, and 2.
Now, we plug in test points between the critical points into the inequality and check the sign:
For x < 1/4: choose x = 0:(ln^2(0-1))(4(0)^2-5(0)+1) = (ln^2(-1))(1) = undefined, not applicable
For 1/4 < x < 1: choose x = 1/2:(ln^2(1/2-1))(4(1/2)^2-5(1/2)+1) = (ln^2(-1/2))(1/2) = positive
For 1 < x < 2: choose x = 3/2:(ln^2(3/2-1))(4(3/2)^2-5(3/2)+1) = (ln^2(1/2))(9-15/2+1) = negative
For x > 2: choose x = 3:(ln^2(3-1))(4(3)^2-5(3)+1) = (ln^2(2))(36-15+1) = positive
Therefore, the inequality ln^2(x-1)*(4x^2-5x+1) > 0 holds for x ∈ (1/4,1) U (2,∞).
To solve this inequality, we need to find the critical points where the expression equals zero and where it changes sign.

(ln^2(x-1))*(4x^2-5x+1) = 0
This can happen if either ln^2(x-1) = 0 or 4x^2-5x+1 = 0.
For ln^2(x-1) = 0, we have:
ln(x-1) = 0
x - 1 = e^0
x - 1 = 1
x = 2
For 4x^2-5x+1 = 0, we can factor it as:
(4x-1)(x-1) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero gives:
4x-1 = 0
x = 1/4
x-1 = 0
x = 1
So the critical points are x = 1/4, 1, and 2.
Now, we plug in test points between the critical points into the inequality and check the sign:

For 1/4 < x < 1: choose x = 1/2:
(ln^2(1/2-1))(4(1/2)^2-5(1/2)+1) = (ln^2(-1/2))(1/2) = positive
For 1 < x < 2: choose x = 3/2:
(ln^2(3/2-1))(4(3/2)^2-5(3/2)+1) = (ln^2(1/2))(9-15/2+1) = negative
For x > 2: choose x = 3:
(ln^2(3-1))(4(3)^2-5(3)+1) = (ln^2(2))(36-15+1) = positive
Therefore, the inequality ln^2(x-1)*(4x^2-5x+1) > 0 holds for x ∈ (1/4,1) U (2,∞).
