Extreme value theorem
Functions to which the theorem does not apply

The following examples show why the function domain must be closed and bounded in order for the theorem to apply. Each fails to attain a maximum on the given interval.

Defining f (0) = 0 {\displaystyle f(0)=0} in the last two examples shows that both theorems require continuity on {\displaystyle }.
