Problem

Which of the following functions on the interval (0,1)(0,1) provides a counterexample to the claim, “If a function is continuous on (0,1)(0,1) and both one–sided limits lim⁡x→0+f(x)\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0^{+}}f(x) and lim⁡x→1−f(x)\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 1^{-}}f(x) exist, then the function must attain a global maximum on (0,1)(0,1)”? a) f(x)=sin⁡(πx)f(x)=\sin(\pi x) b) f(x)=1x\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{1}{x} c) f(x)=xf(x)=x d) f(x)=x(1−x)f(x)=x(1-x)
