Re: interval

hi tony123

It's worth trialling different k values using the grapher here:
https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/function-grapher.php

You'll find that x = 1/4 is always the vertical line of symmetry, so one limit will be found by finding the equation when the graph goes through (1,0)

And as k becomes more positive the curve shifts up and eventually fails to cross the x axis at all. That should give you the other limit.
