If a continuous function f 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 value is negative then the equation f(x) = 0 has a root in R.
Consider f(x) = kex – x for all real x where k is a real constant.
Q. The line y = x meets y = kex for k < 0 at
