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 $$f\left( x \right) = k{e^x} - x$$ for all real $$x$$ where $$k$$ is real constant.

For $$k>0$$, the set of all values of $$k$$ for which $$k{e^x} - x = 0$$ has two distinct roots is
