$$f\left(x\right)={ae}^x(a>0)$$ $$g\left(x\right)=1+x+\frac{x^2}{2}$$ $$withx\to -\mathrm{\infty }:$$ $$f\left(x\right)\to 0,g\left(x\right)\to +\mathrm{\infty }$$ $$i.e.f\left(x\right)<g\left(x\right)$$ $$$$ $$withx\to +\mathrm{\infty }:$$ $$f\left(x\right)\to +\mathrm{\infty },g\left(x\right)\to +\mathrm{\infty }$$ $$\frac{f\left(x\right)}{g\left(x\right)}\to +\mathrm{\infty }$$ $$i.e.f\left(x\right)>g\left(x\right)$$ $$$$ $$\Rightarrow between-\mathrm{\infty }and+\mathrm{\infty }thereisone$$ $$intersectionpointfromf\left(x\right)andg\left(x\right),$$ $$i.e.{ae}^x=1+x+\frac{x^2}{2}hasalwaysoneand$$ $$onlyonesolution.$$
