Unbounded Despite Appearances

Problem

Let f(x)=exx2+1f(x) = \dfrac{\mathrm{e}^x}{x^2 + 1} be defined on (0,+)(0, +\infty).

1. Prove that f(x)>1f(x) > 1. 2. Let g(x)=ex1xg(x) = \dfrac{\mathrm{e}^x - 1}{x}. Find the intervals on which g(x)g(x) is monotonic, and prove that for every positive real number mm there exists x0>0x_0 > 0 with g(x0)>mg(x_0) > m.
