Paragraph: If a continuous f defined on the real line R , assume positive and negative values in R , then the equation f(x)=0 has a root in R . For example, if it is known that a continuous function f on R is positive at some point and its minimum values is negative, then the equation f(x)=0 has a root in R . Consider f(x)=k e^x-x for all real x , where k is real constant. Question: The line y=x meets y=k e^x for k 0
Options
- Ano point
- Bone point
- Ctwo points
- Dmore than two points
Correct answer
B. one point
Step-by-step solution
Let y=x intersect the curve y=k e^x at exactly one point when k 0 .
