Convert into a quadratic equation and then select test points.

$4x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0$

$4x^2 - 2x - 2x + 1 = 0$

$2x(2x - 1) - 1(2x - 1) = 0$

$(2x - 1)(2x - 1) = 0$

$(2x - 1)^2 = 0$

$x = 1/2$

$(2x - 1)^2 >= 0$

Selecting test points, we find that all values of x satisfy the inequality.

Hence, the solution is ${x|x in RR|}$ .

Hopefully this helps!
