If a continous founction of defined on the real line R, assumes 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. Considetr `f(x)=ke^(x)-x` for all real x where k is real constant. For `k gt 0,` the set of all values of k for which `ke^(x)-x=0` has two distinct, roots, isA. `(0,(1)/(e))`B. `((1)/(e),1)`C. `((1)/(e),oo)`D. `(0,1)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A For two distinct roots, `1+ ln k lt 0(k gt0)` `ln k lt-1impliesklt1/e` Hence,` k in (0,(1)/(e))` |
