Necessary conditions on $x$ for $e^{ax} \geq b - cx$.

53 Views Asked by At

Let $a,c>0$, $b>1$ be constants. I am wondering what kind of necessary conditions we can find in order that

$$ e^{ax} \geq b - cx$$

holds. So I would like something like

$$ e^{ax} \geq b - cx \Rightarrow x \geq f(a,b,c)$$

where $f$ is some fairly simple function (not something esoteric like the Lambert W-function).

Graphically speaking, it is clear that the equation

$$ e^{ax} = b - cx$$

has precisely one solution, which is positive.

Many thanks for your help.
