I tried my best to come up with my solutions, but it may not be fully correct or understandable.
I have split the question into three cases and attempted to prove the three cases accordingly.
Hopefully this answer helps you.

In the case where x > 1, I try to show that the difference between x^a - ax can never be greater than 1 - a, so I pretend x^a - ax to be a curve having a turning maximum point with a maximum value of 1 - a.
Thanks you really help me
