Which of the following functions on the interval (0,1) provides a counterexample to the claim, “If a function is continuous on (0,1) and both one–sided limits x→0+limf(x) and x→1−limf(x) exist, then the function must attain a global maximum on (0,1)”?
(a) f(x)=sin(πx)
(b) f(x)=x1
(c) f(x)=x
(d) f(x)=x(1−x)
