Difference of roots

Calculus Level 2

Let function u ( x ) = a x ln x u(x)=\dfrac{a}{x}-\ln x , where x ( 0 , ) x \in (0,\infty) , a a is a parameter and a ( e + 1 , 2 e ) a \in (e+1,2e) .

Is it always true that f ( x ) = u ( x ) ln x x f(x)=|u(x)|-\dfrac{\ln x}{x} will always two roots x 1 , x 2 x_1,x_2 and x 1 x 2 < e |x_1-x_2|<e ?

Bonus: Can the result be extended to a ( 0 , ) a \in (0,\infty) ?
