 Here the extreme value theorem doesn't technically apply, as we don't have a closed interval. However, **if** we can eliminate the endpoints as candidates, then we should be able to convince ourselves the maximum must occur at a critical point of $f(x)$. (If not, then convince yourself for all sufficiently large $M$ the maximum over $[0,M]$ occurs at a critical point, not an endpoint. Then let $M$ go to infinity.
