That's great. Actually it seems to work:

In[]:= KuhnTucker[-(x - x^2) y, {1/5 <= x, x <= 2/5, y > 0}, {x}, Reals]
Out[]:= y > 0 && x == 2/5 && m[1] == 0 && m[2] == y/5

Thanks also for pointing out how to use ForAll[...] to get the upper 
bound (Maxim) and the maximizing x (Andrzej Kozlowski). Being new to 
Mathematica, I have not worked with this function before, but it seems 
that you  can do a lot with it...

Greetings,
