The correct answer is: 2-0.4,1
fx= 1+x0.61+x0.6

fx= 0.61+x-0.4 1+x0.6-0.6 x0.41+x0.61+x0.62

=0.6 1+x-0.4 1+x0.6-x-0.4 1+x21+x0.62=0.6x0.4-11+x0.41+x0.62

Clearly it is always negative in [0, 1]

minimum value would be at x=1.

(1+1)0.61+10.6= 20.62=2-0.4=k

& maximum values would be at x=0

(1+0)0.61+00.6=11=K

Hence 2-0.4,1
