Question: f(x)=g(x) Warning, solutions may have been lost

Question:f(x)=g(x) Warning, solutions may have been lost

I have newbie problem with these two equations:

f(x) = 0.5x-3x-x+x+10
g(x) = xe

I am supposed to draw them in Maple and solve f(x) = g(x), this is what I've got:

f:=x->0.5*x^4-3*x^3-x^2+x+10;

g:=x->x*exp(1)^(0.5*x-1);

plot([f,g],-4..8);

Now I get the drawing and it seems okay, but then I try using solve to do f(x)=g(x)

solve(f(x)=g(x));

and all I get is "Warning, solutions may have been lost". When I try using fsolve I only get 1 solution (1.528541752) but I know they are supposed to be at least 3

Can anyone help?
