How to prove that, for any real number $0 \le x \le 1$, this inequality holds ? $ \frac{1-(e^{-2})^x}{1-e^{-2}} \ge x $ I tried using wolfram alpha to solve for getting some idea, but the exact solution is very complex : here is the link.

Thank you very much.

Prove that the function $f(x) = \dfrac{1-e^{-2x}}x$ is decreasing. Hence, $f(x) \geq f(1)$

The function $f(x)=\frac{1-(e^{-2})^x}{1-e^{-2}}-x$ is concave and $f(0)=f(1)=0$. Then $f(x)\geq 0$ for all $x\in[0,1]$.
