f'(x)=x(e^x-2)
Let f' (x) > 0, < 0, =0 respectively.
When x∈(-∞, 0)∩(LN2, +∞), f' (x) > 0.
F'(x)=0 when x=0 or x=ln2.
F' (x) < 0 when x∈(0, ln2).
To sum up, f(x) increases at (-∞, 0), decreases at (0, ln2) and increases at (ln2,+∞).
There is a maximum value of-1 when x=0, and a minimum value of ln4-(ln2) when x=ln2. -2.

Let f(x)=0 and get k = (x- 1) e x/x? Then let g (x) = (x- 1) e x/x? .
Therefore, the problem is transformed into proving that there is only one intersection between g(x) and y=k images.
g'(x)=2e^x(x? -x+ 1)/x?
∵e^x,x? For x∈R, x+ 1 is greater than 0.
When x > 0, g' (x) > 0, and when x < 0, g' (x) < 0.
∴g(x) decreases at (-∞, 0) and increases at (0,+∞).
Let g (x) < 0 and g (x) > 0 respectively, and the solution is:
G (x) < 0 when x < 0.
When 0 < x < 1, g (x) < 0.
G (x) > 0 when1< x.
When ∴x∈[ 1, +∞), g(x)≥0.
And ∵g(x) monotonically increases at (0, +∞).
The intersection of ∴g(x) and y=k can only be 1, and only x∈[ 1, +∞) has a unique solution.
To sum up, it proves that.
